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!

Jules,
Welcome!
There are a couple of issues here. First, you need to make a gauge swatch if you haven't already. Your stitch type and hook size aren't all you need in order to determine the size of your finished piece. Your fiber and tension also are factors. If I were to work the same stitch with the same hook and same fiber, I'd still probably end up with a very different gauge from you, as gauge is different from person to person, since tension is different from person to person.
Your swatch will tell you if your stitch is square or rectangular. If your stitch is square, you would choose "Tunisian Square" in #3. If it's rectangular, then you would need to choose "Tunisian Horizontal" or "Tunisian Vertical," depending on the orientation of your stitches.
If your stitches in your gauge are square, then choosing "Tunisian Square" would give you a square pattern if your image is exactly square.
If your stitches in your gauge are rectangular, either vertically or horizontally, your pattern is unlikely to be perfectly square. Were you to use a square representational stitch for that rectangular stitch, your pattern might look square, but it would be skewed.
If both your gauge and image aren't square, there are ways to work it out mathematically to ensure your pattern is square to your gauge; however, keep in mind that at this point you can only set your stitch width, not how many rows you want for the length of your pattern as made from your image. We do have a feature in development that allows you to do that, but at the moment it's still in testing and isn't available.
Thank you for the quick response to my msg! I do not need to print out the pattern, just want to be able to download a one page pdf to the JKnit Pro app.
Is there a way I can post a picture so you can see what I am talking about?
Melanie,
And support is 25% of the work IMO..
It's nice to have support for the things you make.. It makes the whole process a bit funnier..
Hugs
N just one more thing,if it helps, too, I have the "direct link" that it came from, the linked "BB code (forums)" it said but not sure what exactly I'd do with it, n also a link, I think I'd be called, think it was a http//: type thing, "websites & blogs (HTML)"-hotmail, right, if I can sign up for it, I haven't, but I could if it'd help copy/send the pic/design to a graph, just would like to put that or a very similar image on a piece of graph paper, to work with yarn.! Love yarn! Oh, and love the unique quotes, a great touch, & representation in telling us you understand! Think it's great you have big plans continue ing this site, or group,~no, don't know for sure what it's called. Lol.
