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!

hi im redd. ive been crocheting since i was 10. i make adult clothing blankets an more here to learn more then what i already do and make new friends along the way
Ava,
The Basic Palette is the one I suspect you'll want. Unless you're looking for a certain brand, such as Red Heart Super Saver, the Basic Palette is what you'll find has all of the very basic colors. Brands of yarn will have their own color names. This is why we developed the Basic Palette, because yarn is very difficult to match to specific colors, and even going across brands, which usually isn't recommended due to differences in yarn weights and differences in fibers (e.g., you wouldn't want to use fibers that require different types of care in one project!), you'll be hard pressed to find matching colors beyond the basics.
The Full Palette isn't recommended at all.
DMC is embroidery floss. While there are some who use embroidery floss to crochet, it's a very small fiber and difficult to work with, so though DMC has many color matches compared to conventional yarns, it's not recommended for crochet.
I have discovered that when I choose my desired number of stitches across for a pattern it means it is that many rows down as well.
What if I need my pattern to have a different number of rows down. I think I can make my own modifications but I thought I would ask if it was possible to make that adjustment.

I posted one FREE soap making how-to book for Kindle for today...if you're interested, please grab it before it's gone! (Note: you do not need to have an actual Kindle. If you have a smartphone, you can download a Kindle reader app for FREE...if all you have is a PC, you can download to your PC...and I believe there may also be a way now of completely bypassing any kind of reader app to read directly online - though please don't quote me on that, as I'm not sure. I find the PC reader to be quite decent for "how to" ebook content...since I don't own a Kindle, I can't say how well it works...but I would think a smaller screen would make a how-to book kind of difficult to read.)

Esther,
Welcome! 
C2C is in our
plans, but I'm sorry to say it's not available yet. We don't have a
date yet for when it will be available.
