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!

Ronnie,
I'm testing a couple changes that address black and white patterns and also brick and peyote stitches.
I should have a new version live this week but I'm also trying to get one update completed within the next 2 days.

Congratulations Kat
It's going to be totally awesome!
Hi, Im new here and am trying to create a pattern to crochet by numbers. It's a greyscale picture of John Wayne with some words on it. I'm having trouble making it clear and always seems a bit dark. Also the words are not clear of all in black. Does anyone have the cleverness to help me please?
TIA
Lou

Coralzero,
Welcome! 
I'm so excited
for you starting again with your beadweaving! Bonus that your
grandmother taught you...what a lovely thing she did.
While you're
definitely not a beginner, I strongly suggest the book I learned
from: Creative Bead Weaving by Carol Wilcox Wells, because I found
the illustrations were so clear and detailed. At that time I'd
tried other books and felt they didn't have the nuances Creative
Bead Weaving had. There may be other books since then, so I'm not
saying this one is definitely the answer, but it's a very good,
handy reference - and I still use it for information about various
stitches, not just peyote.
Wells published a
newer book beyond Creative Bead Weaving, The Art & Elegance
of Beadweaving, which includes even more stitches, still with all
of the clear references that were included in Creative Bead
Weaving. LOL, okay, I'm more than a bit of a fan. 
Also, there are
some wonderful choices of bead thread. I much prefer fishing line,
such as Fireline Crystal. While the colors are limited, with most
bead colors the Fireline Crystal tends to blend right in, and it
doesn't tend to break or get ragged like Nymo does. (Bonus, you can
get it from any sporting good store and even Walmart sells it!) As
for thread conditioner, that's kind of dicey; if you're okay with
beeswax, that should suffice. There's a synthetic now on the
market, Thread Magic, but it's really expensive. So the conditioner
is a difficult proposition these days.
I wish you best of luck with your project and do feel
free to post photos of your progress so we can drool!
Lisa,
Welcome!
I hope this is
what you're looking for: When you go to the freePatternWizard, in
#2 be sure to set it to "Crochet" and in #7 under "Pattern or Word
Chart:" be sure to set that to "Graph and Word Chart." That will
give you both a graph and a word chart, as you mentioned
above.
Hope that helps!
