Hello to all!!

Hi everyone!!  My name is Amanda.  I have been crocheting for almost 20 years!  Wow I can't believe how much I both hate and love that number!  I love it because I can't believe I have stuck with something for that long and I hate it because it makes me feel old even though I haven't even hit the natural age of 40. My mother taught me to crochet before I had graduated high school.  I made my first graphgan when I was 20 and there's been no looking back!!!  i love that I found this particular community.  I do have at least one question that I have scoured the boards looking for a possible answer to but either I am the only one with the issue or maybe people don't realize its off a bit.  When I get to the step of choosing a color pallette it doesn't show them all to me.  I am trying to make a graph of 2 flamings facing each other.  I want to use the caron simply soft color pallette and I want to choose my colors.  I can't choose all that are available because for some reason the pallette doesn't fit completely in the box its in.  Its like all the colots are there but I can't see them all because they have floated beyond the border as though the images didn't wrap or auto enter to the next line.  Am I making any sense whatsoever?  TIA

Hi Melanie and Terry, 

Thanks for such a quick response!!  Terry I am on a laptop with Windows 10.  My problem was that I was only seeing a partial palette of colors in 5b after checking the option to choose my own colors.   I meant to come back in here and tell yall that I managed to dix the issue just shortly after posting the original message.  I had just thought it was a program error and not something in my own settings which is what it turned out to be. I had my web pages set to zoom in or something.  anyway I changed something from 100% to 50% in my internet settings and suddenly everything on the page was a bit smaller and everything fit in the box.  Can you tell I don't know a ton about computers? lol  I know just about enough to get myself out of the little mess ups I find myself in.  Like this one!! lol

Melanie,

You are right crochet is ageless!!  and with all of these types of crafts becoming popular again I am thankful that I know what I do because I can teach my daughter along with numerous nieces and nephews and maybe if I'm lucky granchildren somewhere in the future.  


Blessings to all,
Amanda
