New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
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!

Angelique,
Welcome!
What kinds of things have you cross stitched? If you'd like, please feel free to post pictures of your cross stitch and any other crafts, so we can all drool!
Awwww, your guinea pig sounds adorable! At least one of our other members here, Aabye, also has guinea pigs. Would love to see pics of Vlekkie, too! Nothing more adorable than cute little furry ones.
I'm sure you'll be fine...listen, I've been doing all kinds of crafts for years and I still make mistakes...all the time! (Wish I could say "kidding," but that's completely serious, sigh.) The thing I've found is not to sweat it. What you think is a glaring mistake others won't even notice...promise!
Line,
LOL, you're right, that's exactly what kindergarten teachers are doing. But my husband is still in his terrible twos, so he can't be considered a kindergarten teacher.
Wow, I had no idea! Kids are pretty advanced at early ages these days!
I agree...your game plan is nothing short of genius, simply following his inability to wear the hat when the weather gets warmer.
Oh, no!
Hope you get a chance here
and there for a nap, so you can feel refreshed!
Hugs,
Melanie

Molly,
Those are such excellent
ideas!
Our apologies -
we don't yet have that amount of flexibility within the program.
While our private label does have a "notes" section, it's likely
too limited to contain everything you want.
We've been discussing your ideas and find they're all
things we'd eventually like to implement. We're only sorry we don't have the
ability to work on them immediately. (Our first priority is basic
functionality issues.)
We're only sorry we don't have the
ability to work on them immediately. (Our first priority is basic
functionality issues.)I wish I could give
you a time frame, but at this point it would be too soon and I'd
only be guessing (and that could be incorrect). All I can say is
please stick with us and hopefully we'll be able to do something
sooner, rather than later.
And thank you so
much for giving us more to think about! We have a pretty long
laundry list of things we want to accomplish, but we're always
looking for new things to add to it!
Pinkyrose,
Thank you!
Gloshei,
I'm not sure you'll be
able to work as small as you need to for a pen wrap, unfortunately.
The freePatternWizard is best used when you give it an image that
is the same number of pixels as you'll need for number of beads
(stitches).
In other words if you wanted a
pattern that was, say, 20 beads across you'd give the
freePatternWizard an image that was 20 pixels across, then give it
20 stitches across in option #6. (At this time the horizontal
measurement is the only one you can give to the freePatternWizard.
This will eventually change, but for now it's not possible to
override the computer figuring the vertical measurement for
you.)
It's best to work all patterns like
that with the freePatternWizard. With text, the problem is that if
you have an image that is larger and you're trying to make it
smaller (or smaller and you're trying to make it larger), it will
only distort and give you things like missing text. Text is
especially difficult because unless you're going pixel to bead it
usually has thin lines that will either be represented in the
pattern by thick areas or they'll disappear altogether. The best
solution for that is to give it an image that already has the
dimensions you want, so if you wanted a pattern that was 50 beads
by 50 rows, you'd give it an image that's 50x50. Again, the
vertical on that can't be guaranteed, but for the horizontal,
pixels to stitches will work best.
Angelique,
