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.

I am new. And I need some help. I am trying to make a blanket of my son's dog's face. I am doing in grey scale (black and white) I have 6 colors. Using Red Heart Yarn. Max width? I am croucheting it.
1. how do you download and save to my downloads?
2. What are the best items to check on creating it to get the best results?
3. How do you match up the yarn numbers given with the one's at the store? Will they be the same?
4. Is there any tutorial I can watch to explain it all?
5. Figure the max width this will be approx 50" and 70" long
6. Am I using a single crouchet stitch?
Thank You

I agree with mlyoder. Especially in making picture pattern, I prefer brown shades. Thats why i edit first the photo which change hue; the app sketch photo help me a lot..
Marion,
Welcome!
Redoing projects may be time consuming, but IMO that's the mark of a talented beader.
First nations designs and anything with wolves are always beautiful! I can see why you like
them.
If you have any pictures of your finished work, feel free to post them...it's always nice to drool!
It's tough when you live in a bead desert, isn't it?!
I live in one, as
well. If you're looking for a great selection of seed
beads, you can always try Cindy the Beadlady, whose site is: http://beadlady.biz
I've ordered from Cindy many times before, and what I especially love about her is she charges exact shipping. I often hesitate about ordering beads simply because the shipping is so prohibitive.
So glad you've found us!
I posted four FREE knitting patterns for Kindle for today...grab them before they're 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 pattern 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 patterns kind of difficult to read.)
