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!

Hi Melanie, sorry it has taken me so long getting back here. Kinda' forgot to stop by, shame on me. I will post a few pics of the beaded vulture tapestry. Since I was on last I finished the vulture part and now working on the background hoping to get it finished some time this summer. It goes slow pickinv up 310 beads, then sewing them down. Will be glad when it is,finished so I can move on to new beading adventures.
Haven't tried the pattern creator yet. Will have to find time to do that. At work right now, will get the pics on here this cycle off work.
Sherry,
Thanks so much for the great input!
I've had the trouble you mentioned with the Simply Soft. I've never used it for a graphghan, but for other projects, there were some issues with weaving tails. It's also a bit thinner so I've had to use a larger hook (or needles) to get the right gauge, as well (which can make it too loose or lacy), and it's too soft to use for some stitch patterns, as it doesn't really hold up to them. I've used it for baby blankets in the past, and for that it worked quite well.
Red Heart is what I hear about from a lot of people, due to the number of colors and easy availability.
hi, please i would like to know the picture format that is best for creating a pattern here. the one that will have any issues while working. thanks
yeah you mentioned your wedding anniversary was during the long thanks giving weekend and happy thanks giving have a good one
Kitti,
That particular feature is not available. The word patterns show how many stitches for each row in the order in which they're supposed to appear. So if you wanted four colors in your pattern and they appeared twice with two stitches in each, it would look something like this:
Row 1: Red 2, Purple 2, Orange 2, Yellow 2, Red 2, Purple 2, Orange 2, Yellow 2
My guess is if we were to put in the stitch counts only, people would think that was how their pattern went, in whcih case they'd make that row 1 this way:
Row 1: Red 4 st, Purple 4 st, Orange 4 st, Yellow 4 st.
I don't think there's a way to break each row down by color and number of stitches without confusing people.
