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!

Dean,
Welcome!
If you're creating a graph from an image using the freePatternWizard, you can opt to make your pattern as a written pattern, rather than a graph only.
If you're talking about an already-made graph, I'm sorry to say the freePatternWizard can only work from images, not from already-created graphs.
Line,
Lol
, seriously though the easiest way would
be what Melanie suggested. Many years ago that's how we did it,
just work up an afghan in tunisian (afghan stitch) and then cross
stitch on the squares. You can even get a lot more detail in with
cross stitch, too.
The lettering on this one is cross stitched, just to give you an idea of the look.
Welcome!
Before any image goes through the freePatternWizard, it should be ready to go as the way you want it for the finished pattern. While we currently have editing functions in development, they're not available at the moment.
What you can do in the meantime is use a graphics program to put your images together. If you don't have a graphics program and you're using Windows, I can recommend two very powerful (and free!) graphics programs that are available online.
Hello from Ontario, Canada. I learned to crochet over 25 years ago now.
Thanks to admin for hosting this board and site.

Line,
It will be stunning in dark blue!
Love fast projects...the faster you can make them, the faster you can wear them!
White for walls...sigh, not much of a fan. It was what I had as a kid. I wanted a room that was pink or blue or purple, but I got...white. Every room...white. Sigh.
Now my office is lavender, with beautiful purple curtains...we painted it lavender and picked out the curtains to match. My ceiling is blue, not intentional (it was painted that way beforehand) and it's not bad with the lavender! Our bedroom is blue, which also wasn't intentional...it was what we got. But it's not a bad blue, so for now, I'm good with that!
We have a room off of the bedroom that we call the sitting room; it's green, not a great one, not terrible.
Our kitchen is some putrid brownish pink, some wallpaper, all patchy and ugly. But the looks of the kitchen are far less important than some of the other problems, so for now, it's staying that way.
Our living room is a greenish color which isn't great, though not my fave. Stairway is white, hallway upstairs is white. Bathrooms are...green, I think. Or maybe one is blue, one is green. Hubby painted his office yellow. Not my kind of color, but he likes it.
I figure as long as my office is a nice color and the bedroom isn't too bad, I can live with the rest.
A white couch...argh! That must have been awful upkeep.
I like darker colors for
upholstered furniture, because as careful as you are, sooner or
later, something's going to spill/stain. 
Hugs,
Melanie
