New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

Hi,
Sorry you're having problems. I just did some quick testing and the program is working. There have been no recent changes or updates at all.
I'm wondering if you may have updated your operating system or browser recently. I sometimes (but very rarely) see that something doesn't work right after a browser update.
Is the message "You must enter a pattern file name to upload in Section 1" or is it something else? That message does show up when the Pattern Wizard thinks you have not selected an image file in section 1.
When you see the message, does section 1 still show the file name with which you're working?
Let me know some more information and I'll try to help.

Freubs,
Welcome!
Congrats on teaching yourself to crochet...that's wonderful!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We have quite a few experienced crocheters here, as well as beginners and some in between.
I've personally been crocheting for a
really long time, and I can tell you I'm still learning! There's
always something new.
Grace,
Welcome!
First and most importantly, you must do a gauge swatch. I know, nobody likes doing those, groan, but that will ultimately tell you how large your design will be. This is why I can't say how many stitches you'll need, because it depends on the size of your knitting needles, yarn and tension, all things you'll know once you make a gauge swatch. So there's really no way around it, I'm sorry to say.
Second, the chart produced tells you where to use the green as opposed to white. If you're getting odd colors, it's because you've uploaded a jpg. A png or gif would be better.
Third, since you're fairly new to knitting, I'd suggest starting a bit smaller than a blanket. It's completely understandable to want to skip to the fun projects, but you'll probably find better ways of working the blanket if you understand more concepts first. For example, if you don't have practice with ways of carrying/stranding your yarn, you may end up with floats on the reverse that are way too long and end up detracting from your work. Or you may find you'd prefer to duplicate stitch instead. Many of these are personal choices and/or choices based on experience, so I can't advise you on them, but working small to learn the basics is usually the best place to start.
Hope that helps!
