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!

Thank you so much! I used to be allergic to fractional stitches, but one day I was backstitching over a project that had none whatsoever and it could not stand how it looked! So I decided to just add them in where I see fit. It does not always work, trust me, but I think it looks great on the cupcakes. But I totally understand, they will look great with just full stitches, too.
I did do about 20 minutes of math getting these straight, even though I was never that good at math.
But I
bought this tool that is a ruler-like gauge thing, and you can use
it to tell what count your fabric is and there are numbers that
tell you how many stitches every inch, that sort of thing. It is
not 100% necessary because you can always just remember 14 count=14
stitches per inch, but it is really nice for charting designs on
cloth and stuff like that.
I decided that I have enough for three rows of four cupcakes each, and I will display them all on one big pices of aida, maybe write 2020 somewhere if it seems right. As for spacing, I really just do it as I go along, I will probably copy the same amount between January and February, because I do like how that looks. Even though the cupcakes are slightly different heights, I try to keep all of the bottoms along the same line, even though I obviously did not do that here From now on they will be along the same bottom line.
I actually signed up in 2014 but couldnt figure out what to do! LOL and honestly didnt "need" Stitchboard at the time!
I been crocheting since i was about 8 years old. My mom taught me and my Gma also crocheted so between the three of us we have over 200 years of crochet in our family!
I love to sit and crochet for hours binge watching a tv detective series on Netflix or Prime. My most favorite thing to make is my Pizza scarves and Ruffle Purses! I love to make all kinds of fun food items!
My daughter (among other things like baking and photography) is learning to make Ami's! SO yes i have the next gen in our family on her way! LOL
I've recently just made a graphgan pattern on here and also got the part where it says what to do on each row, so a written one. My question is, when reading the written part and I work the first row right to left, do I flip my work and start row 2, working right to left again? And just continue flipping my work and doing each row as it says?
Thanks for all the help/advice you can give!

May I please be upgraded to bigger graphs to please.

Welcome!
At this time we don't have editing functions available, but you can accomplish what you want by editing your photo beforehand in a graphics program. There are at least two powerful and completely free ones that I know of, Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/) and paint.net (http://www.getpaint.net).
There is online documentation available for both programs. I don't actually know how
they work, as I'm stuck on an ancient version of Paint Shop Pro
that I purchased many years ago, which also isn't half as powerful
as either of those programs...but I know how to use it, so I stay
with it.
