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!  Laughing

"I will try to keep doing monthly updates" she said... Well that turned out great.

While I may not have been posting, I have done some stitching, on and off. I usually either put most of my free time into it or none at all. I have also periodically taken pictures, so I thought that I would post the progression from since I last uploaded.
The latest picture is where I am today before starting to stitch again after almost 3 months of not touching it. I am resigned to the fact that I will probably be 80 by the time I finish this. But it is fun to do, so I soldier on.


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.

I bought a chart of the Dallas cowboy star it 240x240 white and soft navy  I can't see to count the soft navy st. I try enlarge it so big it can't be printed. I really like to crochet this for my grandson he is a Dallas cowboy fan all the way  win or loose he stick with them.
This chart is big but the st are so small the dark color I just can not count  any advice please
                                                                                                Thank you  BJ 

Welcome!  Smile

I'm not a lefty, so I'm not sure how to answer your question.  It would most likely depend on how you normally work.  Do you usually reverse patterns to work on them, or do you leave them as is?  So that's why I would say it would depend on whether your normal patterns tend to be reversed when you work them from charts.  If you use those as a guideline, in theory, it should work the same way with any chart.  Smile
