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!

Is it possible to turn the graph or the word count created on stitchboard into a mosaic or inset crochet pattern?
Hi, Isabelle.
I just did three tests. 1. Showing the .pdf on the screen, 2. Downloading the .pdf pattern, and 3. Having it email the .pdf pattern to myself. All three worked fine on my laptop. I also just downloaded and emailed a .pdf chart using my iPhone and they worked too. So the basic functions are working.
BUT, one of the great "joys"
of programming and developing software
for internet use (which I've been doing for some 20 years) is that
there are always companies upgrading device software versions, and
changing what and how they support various functions. So
things that work today might not work tomorrow after an
upgrade. Or if I make a change on our end, all of a
sudden something might not work on 1%, 10%, 50%, or 100% of the
users' browsers on certain devices.
Back on March 24 I moved the entire site over to our secure server because that's how the internet is headed. Security is super-important!
In doing some research, I do see some versions of the standard Android browser have a problem downloading .pdfs from a secure website. This is not a problem on our end but just something that Google didn't work through in their browser. I did also see that people who then used a different browser on the same device were able to download just fine. I'm guessing there are other browser versions on some other devices that may also have an issue.
What's the solution?
1. You can have it email the pattern to yourself (set in the freePatternWizard section 7).
2. Change your browser.
3. Upgrade your browser.
4. Help me offer work-arounds.
Number 4 above would probably be the better solution in many cases. All this would take is to have one or more users who have a problem downloading a .pdf chart give me some information so I can thoroughly research the cause. I had to do a similar thing when Microsoft caused a problem with one version of one of their browsers.
So if anyone reading this would be interested in helping, I can probably come up with a fix in a short period of time. Just let me know.

YAY!
I found another one on facebook, but they wanted a LOT of money [hundreds] for vendors to sign up, so I didn't know whether anyone might be interested in it or not ... strangely enough, they didn't hardly charge wholesale buyers anything ... found that to be very strange.
If anyone is interested, please let me know and I will post the info as I did bookmark the page ... just in case.
Beloved (what a great name!),
Welcome!
Are you looking for ready-made patterns, or are you looking to make your own?
If you're looking for free patterns, my suggestion is to Google something that's of interest to you, along with the words "cross stitch" and "free." There's no one great source of free patterns...the one I used to use is no longer updated, hasn't been for years, and the majority of the links don't bring up anything close to patterns.
That said, I've searched for free patterns recently, and there are still plenty available. It may take a little bit to
find certain things, but they can be found!
A source that isn't free, though is usually pretty nice, is if you can look at some cross stitch magazines. Since I first started cross stitching, the cross stitch magazine field has exploded! There are all kinds of magazines with terrific patterns. There are many long-term projects, or you can use them for quick projects, too. Not having a lot of time, I used to love the smaller projects! It's not instant gratification (LOL, what part of cross stitch ever is?), but it's pretty close.

JVincent,
Welcome!
Yes, you're
spot on...it's a one to one ratio, read like any standard crochet
pattern. So as long as you're using the correct stitch (e.g.,
single crochet for a standard crochet chart), you're good!
