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!

Oh my gosh! That is crazy! It must take forever! I would go insane. I use the loop method sometimes, I think it is very handy. Sometimes, with uneven stitches, I use the needle to rearrange them and make them less lumpy, but only when it is neccessary. I doubt I could tell the difference between a piece with the tool and without. No one looks close enough to be able to tell that the fibers are not "facing" in the same direction. Best of luck with those loose ends.
I am doing a portrait as the drawing on the left side. But I'm working from the bottom to the top, back and forth exactly as the picture goes from bottom to top. But.... I've seen other portraits worked from side to side. For example. My subjects chin will show up before the mouth, which will show up before the nose, etc. But in other's who have crocheted a portrait they worked side to side so the ear would show up before the face. Does that make sense? This is why I'm concerned about mine looking right when it's done.
Ann,
Welcome!
I'm so sorry for your loss...furchildren are so precious.
The good news is that you can use the freePatternWizard with an Android tablet. The conversion work is actually done on our server, so you don't have to install anything on your tablet to make your pattern.
There are some special effects available (e.g., brightness, contrast adjustments, etc), though for now image manipulation like cropping should be done beforehand (these are features that are currently in development and are not yet available). I'm unfamiliar with apps that are available for this purpose, but I'm sure there are some good options, so if you do a search and read the reviews, that should help you to find an app that can be used if you need to manipulate your image.
Swaldor,
Welcome!
The freePatternWizard currently doesn't allow any settings for number of rows in the pattern, only the number of stitches across. The reason for that is if you were able to set the number of rows as you wish, your pattern would most likely turn out skewed, and those results would be undesirable.
One solution would be, as you mentioned, adding solid colors. Ultimately, we'll be offering functions that will allow more flexibility for setting pattern rows, as well as stitches across, but for now, the best way to remedy a pattern that isn't long enough is to do something along the lines of adding solid colors.
Hope that helps!
