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!

Chris,
This is one of the best tutorials I've found, if you're not specifically looking for a video:
http://www.dummies.com/crafts/crocheting/how-to-carry-yarn-in-crochet/
I like the illustrations because they make the steps very clear!
It's not hard to strand in this manner and will give the piece a much more polished appearance when it's finished than if you cut the yarn and work the ends in later. Sure, it's a bit more trouble, but worth it, IMO. Though double crochet is shown in the illustrations, single crochet is the same thing, just with a shorter stitch, and you should be able to strand exactly the same way.
Hi again!
Since we now have Premier subscribers who can go to 500 stitches across (information here), we got into a discussion regarding the old default setting of generating patterns of the number pixels across in the uploaded image. We figured most of the users would not automatically want the 500 stitches when using a larger image so we now default to the fixed (but changeable) number of 80.
To manually raise this count, simply enter the desired stitch count in the box in section 6.
Also, there was a minor bug in the Illusion Knitting function where the word charts could have shown improperly. If stitched the way it printed out, it would have worked but the notations were not what I wanted. A row might have shown K10, P4, P2, P5, K7. The corrected version would now show K10, P11, K7. Again, someone knitting the pattern would have thought the system was sipping a little too much of something but it would have stitched out properly.
I'm winding up another new feature and hope to have it running soon.

Shaleigh,
Oooh, I can see you're
making tremendous progress! 
I had wondered
about the red in the cape, too, but absolutely agree, if it works
out, that's what counts. No one is going to know what the original
image looks like. I'm not sure why the program didn't see the red,
but maybe it knows something we don't? 
Can't wait to
see your next update! I'm definitely benefiting on the
receiving end here...I haven't stitched a single stitch, yet I can
see it shaping up!

see it shaping up! Seriously,
this is such a joy and gives something nice to look forward to!
Sherry,
Feel free to post links!
We encourage learning here.
It's so much
easier now, don't you think? I find myself wishing there had been
an Internet long ago, when I learned! There were things I struggled
to master, because there was no one to show me and the books
weren't always clear.

weren't always clear.I definitely think
being self-taught is a great accomplishment. Give yourself a pat on the back for
that!
