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,
I just updated the program so the word charts now show the yarn manufacturer name on the cover sheets instead of "Palette Used: Stitchboard Word Chart".
This addresses your first question above.
More updates soon as I finish testing them.

Hi. I'll look into it right away and will let you know what's up.

Stacy,
Welcome!
Have you tried using a graphics program to lighten your images? If you're using Windows and need a graphics program, I know of two very powerful free ones that are available for download online which can help.
As for the maximum number of stitches, actually, that number is 500 stitches across; however, when you go to either 300 or 500 stitches, you're then talking about our Premier features, for which we have very nominal fees. The 300 stitch option carries an introductory price of $2.99 for a full year, and the 500 stitch option carries an introductory price of $4.99 for a full year. If you pay for the 500 stitch option, the 300 stitch option is also included, so there's no extra charge for both. You can see more information about our Premier features here:

If you're still interested in working at only 150 stitches across there's only one way to calculate how large your finished item will be. You must crochet a gauge swatch. There's no way around it; your gauge depends on several factors - your hook size, fiber, and it also greatly depends on how tightly or loosely you personally crochet. There are good possibilities that even if you and I both used the same size hook and the same fiber, we'd still produce different sized swatches!
Your gauge swatch should be at least 4 inches x 4 inches. After you end your swatch, you need to block it, then measure and calculate the number of stitches per inch by measuring fully across and dividing the number of stitches by the number of inches. Then with that number you can calculate out the finished size of your graphghan.
So for example, let's say your finished swatch was 3 stitches to the inch and your graphghan pattern had 90 stitches across. You'd figure 90 divided by 3, and that would tell you the finished graphghan pattern would be 30 inches across.
One thing about crocheting (or knitting) is it's all very math intensive. It's also very necessary, especially for things like garments, since you wouldn't want to find that the cardigan you worked hours and hours to make either drags on the ground or is small enough to fit a 10 year old!
Wow ... these look even bettern than in the first post! Very well done! Can't wait to see the finished product!
