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!

Also wanted to show a photo of where I spend my tiem when not "working for bead moneys".
I finalyy found homes for the rest of
my parrots I had left last summer. The room I had their very large
walk in enclosures was my old bedroom, turned bird room turned bead
room now. I think I got it straightened out and moved most of my
beading stuff in it last Aug. My hubby had been in the process of
tearing the wall between the room and living room down to open it
up when I moved the birds in there. That was like 4 yrs
ago. He finished getting the last of the wall
studs out this past Oct.
I love having my own personal space to sit and bead, watch tv and surf the internet. It's awesome to have plenty of space to work and my dogs love being able to sprawl out under the 4 tables I have for my work. As you can see the walls are still not finished out. Maybe in the next 5 yrs hubby will get it all done. After all he has so much to do now that he is retired for almost 2 yrs such as~~eat, sleep, chat on Facebook, eat some more~~Do I sound jealous? Why yes I am, but hopefully I can retire in 4 yrs.
Thank you Sherry. I'll admit it's quite the challenge but I'm committed to finishing it now.
Line,
That's really pretty!
That would look soooooooooo
elegant to wear to an event or nice dinner!
I think you should make it...it would be stunning, and you'd look great in it!
Oh, yeah, white isn't good for much of anything, at least not in garments. I have very few white articles of clothing (just a couple of t-shirts with designs on them) and will keep it that way! It's just not worth the upkeep. I don't even like white yarn unless it's absolutely necessary for something.
LOL, can you imagine?!
Even without active kids
around, I still wouldn't get white carpeting...like you said, a
coffee or wine spill, and that's it! I guess those
wealthy people either wouldn't have any active kids over, or they'd
replace the carpeting often.
Hugs,
Melanie

Dawn,
Welcome! 
I'm not sure
that you'd be able to size down quite that small. The key is to
resize your image first to the size of the pattern you're trying to
make. So if you wanted to make your pattern 15 beads across, you'd
adjust your image to 15 pixels across. The problem with that is
your original image may not be able to go as small as you need it
to be for such a limited size project.
Unfortunately, the freePatternWizard can't be used to
make the image smaller for you; since it's not a graphics program,
it's only going to guess at what you'd want from a larger image.
This size reduction has to be done in a graphics program before you
upload your image. If you'd like to try that and you're on a PC I
can give you links to two very powerful and free graphics programs
that will handle the task.
Amanda,
Welcome!
Please tell me
if I'm understanding the problem correctly. You send a font through
the freePatternWizard, but it's not turning out clear?
The problem with a font is if it has a bunch of thin
lines it will be impossible for the freePatternWizard to see and
replicate them. Something with, say, a sweeping script of wide and
thin lines will only show the wide lines. The same goes for a font
with very thin serifs.
If I'm correct
above, then you may not be able to use the particular font you want
to use. I know suitable fonts that are all thick lines are
disappointing, especially when you have your heart set on a
beautiful font, but some simply don't convert well. The
freePatternWizard tries to make patterns based on what it sees and
if lines are too thin, it won't see them as being part of the
pattern, I'm sorry to say.
