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!

Kathy,
Hi, I've alerted Terry (Support) to your message. Meanwhile, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, we don't offer the capability to make cross stitch word patterns...actually, I didn't know there could be such a thing, so please excuse my ignorance!
Suzanne,
I see what you're saying.
Probably about the closest
thing you'll get to a knit-looking stitch in crochet is TKS -
Tunisian Knit Stitch. So is there a way you could adapt
the above pattern (or another crocheted entrelac pattern) to use
TKS?
Unfortunately, there's no direct correlation specifically from a knit stitch to a crocheted knit-looking stitch, so about all that can be done is to approximate that kind of stitch. TKS isn't perfect, but it's the closest I've ever seen.
I've actually made things in TKS before. It's a persnickety stitch, but as long as you use a large enough hook and be aware it's going to want to curl...badly...you should be fine.
If you're going to try TKS for an entrelac project and you're not familiar with the stitch, I'd suggest first practicing a bit with it, perhaps just as a straight stitch. That will give you a feel for it, how your tension works, finding the right size hook and the best way of handling the curl. Once you accomplish that, I'm sure you'll be able to make exactly what you want, and perhaps sometime publish your own pattern!
One other thing you may want to know. TKS works up thickly, much thicker than knitting, because you're making the stitch in a very different way. It's a nice warm stitch, good for scarves, hats and such, so as long as you don't mind that thickness in an afghan, you're good to go!
No, there's no requirement to post so many times before you can add a picture. Are you by chance working from a mobile device? If so, that's why you won't be able to see the three rows of functions which include the "add image" function.
If you're on a mobile device, do you have access to a computer at all?
Melanie,
Well. Isn't kindergarden teachers just sitting and playing with toys with the kids?
Most kindergarden children doesn't need much help.. Today the kids are helping them selves.. I know my boys are.. They are putting on their clothes by them selves, they go to the toilet by them selves.. Well, Noah is still wearing his diaper, but that is pretty much the only thing he needs help with..
The game plan is great
Naps are great.. Love naps.. But haven't had time to take one for a couple of months now..
Maybe that's why I'm so tired..
Hugs

now I will forever be crocheting!
