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!  Laughing

I have created a pattern and am having trouble finding a site that sells all the needed bead colors for Miyuki beads.  I'm open to delica or seed beads, that were suggested when I created the pattern. TIA! Marie

I just tried to make my first pattern. I keep getting lots of errors. Is there someone that can help me.

Kyia,

Welcome!  Smile

What a beautiful first name you have...so unusual!

How sweet of your grandma to have taught you to crochet.  Apparently it was just what the doctor ordered!  Wink  And it's wonderful that you're self-taught on the rest...I'm self-taught, so I can appreciate your journey.  LOL, though I'm so ancient that not only was the Earth's crust still cooling Wink when I learned, there was no YouTube or Internet for learning!  Surprised  Oh, the horrors!  LOL.

Congrats on getting your first home!  Glad you made it through all of the rought times and hoping your move will go happily and smoothly.  Kiss

Thanks Melanie,

I can assure you I'm no 'seasoned professional' by any means.  If it wasn't for youtube and online videos, my knitting skills would most likely still be non-existent. 

I think that one of the things that helps me is that because I am left-handed, I have always had to reverse what everyone else does.  Sometimes this is not easy. 

I've been learning how to do various crafts since I was young, but by no means am I an expert in any one of them.  I have way too much to learn still, but that doesn't stop me from being able to share what I've already learned with others. 

Yes, my main goal is to inspire others so they can come up with new and interesting projects, too.  There is nothing as satisfying as completing a project that you designed and created from start to finish, even if it was inspired by, or based upon something else.  It's a pretty awesome feeling, and I would love to help other people  feel that way, too.

Karina,

Welcome!  Smile

Yes, you're correct..."standard" is a single crochet.  I've thought of changing it; however, right now it's readable by people in the UK (and Australia) as well as the US.  By designating a name for the stitch, it's likely to be confusing if we pick one (in the UK and Australia, they call single crochets "double crochets," so we call it "standard" to avoid confusion.  I'll have to think about a way to make it more clear, but for now, know that "standard" is single crochet in the US, in this case.  Smile
