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!

Hello, I'm 26 and I have spent the majority of my life in and out of crochet projects. Its one thing that I love that even when I take a 6 month long break from it, I'm still just as excited to start a new project and come back to it. I was wondering if I could get some advice about coloring. My friend has asked me to create a blanket for her daughter's softball team using their logo. I am happy to do that but the pattern is kind of black and white and the letters are surrounded by puffs of smoke. I didn't know if there was a way to get an idea of a color combination or fade to get that type of design to show up in crochet. I've made a few sports blankets but I have never tried to capture a smoke effect. I figured maybe try a gray that fades into a solid white. I also want to try to make this with velvet yarn, which could have a discoloration effect all by itself. Any and all advice is appreciated. Thank you for your time.
I completely agree. One day he will fiind something that makes him happy. Thankfully, the list is endless!
Hi
I am new to this site. My name is Lori & I'm from Columbus, Ohio. I love to crochet & have been crocheting for a very long time.
Line,
Exactly!
Love the idea of you making
money from selling small items like this, and what a great idea to
make them in different colors and shapes! That would be really
eye-catching, and who could resist something so visually
appealing?
Hugs,
Melanie

Hi everyone! I've just joined. Been
browsing a bit - what a lovely group!
I'm an experienced crafter (of many more years than I'd
care to admit), but dismayed at the lack of knowledge people
generally have of crafting. I realise however, that I
myself do less than I imagine, or would like to do.
Hopefully this group will encourage me to share some of
my original patterns, and create more - espcially as I see a rising
trend of lace-trimmed garments in UK stores!
QUESTION:
Do you use UK or US
pattern instructions?
I found some years
ago that they differ, startingly, which can be a real challenge for
beginners (as well as those creating patterns for sites like this).
UK chain = US ?
UK
double crochet = US single crochet as far as I recall
UK half treble = ?
UK treble =
?
UK double treble = ?
Then there's slip stitch . . .
