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!

De'Andrea,
Welcome!
Love your name...how unique!
So happy you were able to find beadwork again...and again! It's addictive, isn't it?
How ingenious you were to figure out how to do loom stitch off-loom! I bet that beaded hatband turned out wonderfully.
A beaded vulture pattern...so fascinating! I hope you'll post pics when you're done, or even of your work in progress. Sure, vultures aren't what most people would request, but what a way to do something innovative!
It sounds like such a complex piece and I'd love to see it!
And how cool about your grandfurbabies, plus your fur & feather kids.
So much joy! Feel free to talk about them anytime. I
have a cat and always start going on about her...she's such a love!
My friends are probably tired of hearing her stories, LOL. 
My thanks to Sara who reported that the screen pattern download function was not working.
I just corrected the problem and it works again.
Also, it now saves the pattern image with the same base file name as the original uploaded image.
So if you upload an image named "kitty.jpg", your pattern download would be named "kitty.gif" (since all downloaded patterns are in .gif format to preserve maximum resolution).
If you upload a .gif image, your pattern that's downloaded will have the prefix "pattern-" added to the beginning of the file name. So if you upload an image called "kitty.gif", the downloaded image will be named "pattern-kitty.gif". This prevents writing over your original image.
You can always override the download filename and enter any name you want when asked.
Hi.
While we're still working on testing and debugging a new version of the program, I've begun updating a bunch (technical term) of internal settings and configurations which will make everyting run smoother.
While I'll try to be careful, over the next few days you may see a temporary glitch in something. I don't expect anything to affect the operation of the freePatternWizard.
Some of the changes affect things site-wide and you may have to do small things like retrain your browser if it saves your password.
We're bringing the site much more up-to-date and usability will eventually be easier on mobile devices.
We're also working on some new things which will be bringing a lot of new people to the site so I'll probably be upgrading the hardware again soon. And we're prepared to continue upgrading the hardware as necessary.
Once all these updates are finished, we'll work to complete our testing of the new software so we can begin turning on new features.
As usual, have fun! There's lots more to come!

ksmith,
I've done tons of graphs, some I've had to edit in another program first. I'm thinking that the most likely thing is that the software is picking up pixels that you can't see with the naked eye.
Try putting your image into a photo editing program (I use GIMP), and magnifying it so that you can see those pixels and edit the colors a bit.
Another trick that will sometimes work, is to choose a yarn and then select I will choose my colors, then when the pallette appears check only the colors you want.
Sometimes it will take a bit of work to get your graph just the way you want, and you may have to run it through several times.
Hope this helps
