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!  Laughing

Geraldine,
Welcome! Smile
What do you have chosen in #7, where the options are:
Show .pdf pattern on screen
Download pattern
Email pattern to myself
Do you have "Download pattern" checked and if so, what happens when you click on #9 "Let's See My Pattern!"
You should be asked where you want to save the file. Smile


Hi everyone!  I've just joined.  Been browsing a bit - what a lovely group! 
I'm an experienced crafter (of many more years than I'd care to admit), but dismayed at the lack of knowledge people generally have of crafting.  I realise however, that I myself do less than I imagine, or would like to do.
Hopefully this group will encourage me to share some of my original patterns, and create more - espcially as I see a rising trend of lace-trimmed garments in UK stores!
QUESTION:
Do you use UK or US pattern instructions?
I found some years ago that they differ, startingly, which can be a real challenge for beginners (as well as those creating patterns for sites like this).
UK chain = US ?
UK double crochet = US single crochet as far as I recall
UK half treble = ?
UK treble = ?
UK double treble = ?
Then there's slip stitch . . .


mall search, enter Majestic Horse Afghan, I had to scroll down a few patterns but it is there. Thanks

xpaganwitchx,

Hello there, and welcome.

I find it's best to limit the number of colors, although sometimes that just looks really bad. The simpler the image, the better, especially if you can choose your own colors (there is a selection for this).

The big problem is that there is no one company that makes all of those colors, and mixing yarns from different companies rarely works out well. Undecided So it's an excercise in frustration as well as being a bit overwhelming.

i've seen far to many hellish things i ran out under heavy fire with no back up to drag another soldier back to safety in bosnia and the cost of that was me getting hit and ending up being medivaced and in a coma fighting for my life for 12 weeks the army chaplin phoned nicky and told him to prepare for me to be repatriated in a coffin at raf brize norton a royal air force base in wiltshire in england nicky told me this 7 months afterwards
