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!

hello! i am new to this site and new to cross stitching. i have tried to upload a few different font designs that i would like to have converted into a cross stitch pattern and not one of them has worked. please let me know what i can do, am i only allowed certain fonts?
please help this newbie out!
Hi cwcoup, what a lovely memorial to your friend.
As for what yarn is best, it really comes down to your preferences. I like the Caron One Pound even though it has fewer colors.
I have used the Deborah Norville, and though I love the softness and the quality, I find that it doesn't work well when weaving all those ends because of the smoothness of it.
I imagine that Simply Soft would be difficult to keep the tails hidden, too.
I haven't used the Red Heart for a graphgan, but a lot of people in my crochet group do.
The Herrschners is a tad bit thinner than Red Heart, but it does have a lot of colors and is a bit less expensive.
So there's my two cents, hope there is some info that helps you decide.
Shirley,
Welcome!
Hee hee, isn't TV so much more interesting with a project in your hands?
Ontario...love it! I was there once (Toronto, mostly) and had the nicest time. The people were lovely and there was so much to see! Autumn is a particularly beautiful season, when the trees start to turn those gorgeous colors.
If you'd like, please post photos of some of your work so we can drool over them!

Jessica,
Welcome!
Things are
slow, particularly at holiday time, but yes, there are still people
here!
Congrats on
finding such a wonderful hobby. 
Knitting is so much fun!

Welcome!
Glad to hear
you like the detail the freePatternWizard produces!
Outlining is a feature that will be added in the future.
As of now, if you're just creating your own patterns for your own
use, perhaps it would be best to look at the work and figure out
where to add some outlines. I know it's an inexact science, but
it's the best way I can think of, until we have an outline function
available.
If you're
talking about downloading your finished patterns, at this time
there's no storage of patterns on your account...that's also a
feature that will be offered at a later date. For now, the only
thing to do is download it to your computer. You can also choose
the email option, where you can store patterns in your email. Most
providers allow you to keep emails indefinitely and many also allow
up to X amount of megs or gigs of storage. For example, I believe
Google currently offers 15G for a user account.
Oh, discontinued patterns...my nemesis! 
I hear you about those. I used to have
the most beautiful dragon booklet, but lost it to flood waters and
have been unable to find anything close.
I hear you about those. I used to have
the most beautiful dragon booklet, but lost it to flood waters and
have been unable to find anything close. What I would say
is if you think you know the manufacturer, perhaps call them and
see if they can find the right pattern book...they may be able to
sell it to you directly, or at least let you know more info about
it, should it be out of print. (I'd do the same, but have no memory
of who published my dragon booklet, only that it was from at least
20 years ago...needle in a haystack. )
)I would guess
manufacturers would like to at least help you to get info so you
can look on Amazon or eBay for discontinued patterns.
I don't know of anyone who actively sells a lot of old
patterns, but wouldn't be surprised to find there is someone like
that!
