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!

Shelley,
Welcome!
I'm a fellow cat lover. I'm so sorry Riley isn't with you anymore. Kitties are unforgettable...I still miss my childhood kitties and all of the others that are no longer here.
Please feel free to post some pics of your work...we all love to drool!
Crappy crochet, huh? LOL, that's hilarious!
Oh wow! Can I please up upgraded as well? And anyone who has any experience in these graphs....... please help me! Any and all advice is welcome!
I totally understand. The good thing about making your own is that you can adapt whatever pattern you're working to suit your own tastes. I will keep this in mind when I get to that phase of my planning of projects.
Unfortunately, the migraines are why I lost my job first week of December. I've been having headaches nearly daily for more than a year now. The VA [where I get my medical care] has done testing, but they haven't found the root cause ... yet. They told me that I'm allergic to pork and milk, but cutting these items from my diet hasn't really made much of a difference. [Can't figure out why all of a sudden after 50+ years I would become allergic to these items?? Doesn't make sense to me, but hey, it was worth trying if it would have gotten rid of the migraines]The really bad ones like the one I am still battling on/off], usually last at least three days, then they just tape down to a tolerable headache, which I have most days. On the days when they're not extremely debilitating, I try to work through them as best as I can; otherwise, I'm usually bed-ridden due to extreme nausea and extreme sensitivity to light, sounds, smells, etc. Very frustrating.
They finally gave me a migraine medication which the pharmacist said was "really good" ... but it doesn't touch the pain ... at all ... When I was in the hospital [for the 2nd time in a year] last August for diverticulitis, the pain meds they gave me for the diverticulitis was really good at getting rid of the pain in my gut, but it didn't touch the migraine pain at all, either. I just do what I can do and rest when I can't do.
Hello Pdevine15
Using color pictures we must considerer the quality, light and time. All these give to the picture shadows and color patinas and the program read them as colors.
Another consideration is the distance, when we see our .gif pattern so close we can see all the colors individualy, but if you take some distance and look at the .gif pattern we can see a complete picture.
For example, when you see some painting from the distance you can see a master piece, if you are close to the picture maybe you see just dots and dashes.
Before the wizzard magic, i sugest you take your picture with a professional digital designer and ask him for to clean the picture.
Yes, you're correct...a word chart does read like a crochet pattern with the colors. For instance, if I had a pattern of 100 stitches with a big swath of red on one side and an equal swath of blue on the other, the first row would read, "Red 50, blue 50," and then on the following row, it would read, "Blue 50, red 50." So you're also correct that the turn is counted for (though it doesn't actually say turn, as it's assumed you already know how to crochet).
