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!

Melanie,
I can draw a bit.. But we have these overhead projectors (if you know what they are). You simply put something in it, that is printed on transparent plastic, and they you turn the maschine on, and you will now see the pattern on your wall.. You can now simply draw after the shadows that the maschine is casting..
Lavender is a beautiful color.. I wouldn't dare paint an entire room in that color (but only because I would be afraid I wanted to change it shortly after)..
I'm not in to the almost white, but not white colors either.. They all look the same.. o.O
Oh come on, we both know it's your biggest dream.. A brothel like room in your house.. :p You can even complete the look by installing red lamps and so on :p LOOOOOL
Oh the dark color in the bedroom.. My mother has this beautiful, almost black, dark gray in her bedroom.. All white furniture.. I love it..
The room gets a lot of natural light, so it doesn't seem dark dark, if you know what I mean..
Glad you like the sweaters.. They are all knitted by my mother
I have a ton more, but the boys grew out of them..
She made one with a dachshund going all around the waist once.. Super cute..

Welcome!
If you're trying to create a graph from an .rtf file (which is basically a word processing file), your best bet is to find a way to save it as a .gif or .png. The .jpg format is not recommended, as your image can turn out blurry, because the .jpg format can smudge your colors.
If you've got a few words or a saying, you can use your font to create a gif or png file, but you'll have to use a graphics program for that. I can recommend two very powerful free programs, Gimp and Paint.net, but I have no information on how to manipulate files using these programs, as those aren't our own software packages, and I use a very old piece of software from over 10 years ago instead of either of those. (I believe both sites have message boards for the purpose of asking questions about how to use the software.)
You can find Gimp here:

Paint.net is available here:

As for sizes, my best suggestion is to resize your image in one of those programs if it's very large. But as for how to get it to pillow size, that depends on what you're doing. Are you crocheting? Cross stitching? Knitting? If you're crocheting or knitting, you'll have to make a gauge swatch using the needles or hook and yarn that you'll be using for the pattern, so you can know exactly how large it will work up. If it's cross stitching, you'll need to know what kind and size of cloth you'll be using...14 count Aida or linen, 18 count Aida or linen, Congress cloth, 28 or 32 count linen stitched over one...all of these variables will affect your pattern's finished size. There's no one exact answer for using the freePatternWizard; it depends on you, what you're making, the size of what you're making, the craft you're choosing and finally, your cloth count or swatch information to determine how large or small your finished product will be.
Joyce,
I love the names you choose...glad you were able to work out the kinks, as well.
You're amazing!

Lina,
Welcome!
We give stitch
counts, rather than skeins; you can use those counts with any
stitch count calculator online that calculates skeins by using
number of stitches and other factors, such as size of cloth, number
of plies, length of skeins, etc.
Here is one
such calculator:

Hope that helps!
