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.
There are a lot of variables that can cause this.
It sounds like you chose "I will choose my colors" so it should only choose those colors. I think Herrschners Worsted has 57 colors and is a bit limited.
Another thing that causes stray colors is if the original image is a .jpg. It would be best to send it a very small .gif image with limited colors.
You may also want to try turning on Antialias in section 8. Also adjusting brightness and contrast might help.
These are some ideas that come to mind.
In December I'll be working on a new version that includes the ability to fine-tune the pattern manually before printing it out. I'm not sure yet whether this new version will be available yet then but I'm doing testing on it now.

Hi, Amanda!
When you say you don't see all the palettes, are you saying in section #5a you do not see all the palette options (currently there are 11 palettes for crochet and knitting)?
Or do you mean if you click on "I will choose my colors" in section 5b, you only see a partial palette of colors and some are cut off?
To help me, please also let me know what kind of device you're using to access the program (i.e. laptop, dekstop, iPhone, tablet, etc.)
Also, if you don't mind, could you please take this link that will send me information about your browser and operating system versions. If you don't want to do this, it's ok. We respect everyone's privacy.
Thanks for the information.

At this time we don't have editing capabilities available for the freePatternWizard.
What format was your original picture in and how did you get it into gif and png formats? If you copied from jpg into gif or png, you would still be bound by the limits of the jpg format. You can't simply copy to a non-jpg format from jpg, as the damage has already been done.
The other thing is that if it's still not working, we can have you send the original by email, and we can see if there's anything about the image that may not work. In that case, if you let us know here, we'll send an email from an address that you can send to, so we can see if there's something that can be done with the image as far as a pattern.

Welcome!
The reason you're getting too many rows is because the freePatternWizard adjusts to the number of stitches across. So that the pattern doesn't distort, you can't choose the number of rows, because if you did, the pattern you're trying to make would look squashed, in this particular case.
There is one way I can suggest to work around it...you can add borders to your original picture, so the 245 stitches across include (for example) an extra 20 stitches on each side in a background or contrasting color. It may take a bit of experimenting with the border size to get the exact results you want, but this is the best way I can think of to get the proper row count.
You're very welcome...we're so happy you like our program!
