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!

Ok, I'm racing to bring a new version live. I think this will fix your issues.
I'm hoping to do this in the next week. I've tested the new version and found a few lingering issues. There were several issues with colors that showed up in certain combinations of settings.
I'll post again once I enable the new version.

We're always striving to add palettes to the freePatternWizard, but we don't have that particular one at this time. I'm not aware of any conversion charts that are available. How about choosing your own colors, perhaps from the Basic Palette? This is in option #5a, where you'd set the palette to the Basic Palette, then in #5b you would select "I will choose my own colors," which will give you the colors in the palette with check boxes. (You could technically use the Full Palette, but I'm guessing the Basic Palette would have enough colors to choose from to approximate I Love This Yarn colors.)
Hope that helps!
Line,
Hahahahahahaha, you're right! Perfect yarn humor!
I don't really have a great way to wash wool at the moment, other than by hand. As much as I dislike the old machine, it's here to stay until it craps out. Now, sometime in the (hopefully near) future, I know we'll have a nice pull-out faucet for the basement sink, but we bought it sans a faucet, as it was cheaper to buy the things piecemeal, and we didn't need a faucet at the time. Once there's a faucet, that will be where I hand wash whatever needs to be hand washed, sweaters or whatever, but I'd also like to try dyeing yarns. I took a dyeing class years ago and really enjoyed it! Back then I was looking at dyeing cotton for cross stitch, but now I'm thinking about other fibers, as well.
Have you ever thought about dyeing yarns to get your own custom colors, or do you feel you have enough selection available that it's more trouble than it's worth?
Dyeing yarns is appealing at the moment because our area is a complete yarn desert. Nothing around for miles. When we used to have a yarn store nearby, it was so much easier to simply try to find something that worked.

Virgil,
Welcome!
Congratulations
on meeting your soul mate! Love is such a precious and wonderful
thing! And thanks for posting the pic of the
two of you...LOVE!
No
worries...it's always so nice to hear about people's lives...nope,
ears are definitely not bleeding.
I don't have a
specific site or anything that I use. When I have a question about
something, I check out YouTube by searching directly for what I'm
interested in. But then, I'm older than dirt and learned crochet ages ago,
before there was a YouTube or even, gasp, an Internet! So I learned it all from books.
(Oh, noes! ) That's why I don't have a specific
reference.
But you're definitely in luck,
because BetwixtTheStitch on this site is an expert in Tunisian, so
I'll see if she has any ideas on sites or videos, etc.
And ANYTIME you
have questions or just want to talk crochet, knitting, anything,
that would be great! Love to hear from other like-minded
people...so glad you found us!
