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!

I was in fact wondering if your Pattern Wizard people had an opinion? Or indeed their own stash of dried frog pills. :-)
Hello every one. I am new to the group and very excited to find this site.
Hello,
I have a jpeg image I want to use on a pair of handwarmers. So, the image would be on the back of the hand when completed. I'm not sure if the Pattern Wizard does that. The handwarmers would be knit. The image may be to large to shrink to the amount of sts, I'm just not sure if this is possilbe or if I'm explaining it very well.
I tried the wizard but it just displayed a blank page.
Amy,
In addition to needing a better format, I can see where this image could be problematic, even in GIF form. The problem with the image itself is that inner line. The freePatternWizard will do its best with it, but since the outer line is thick and the inner line is thin, it's going to have trouble designating which stitch is for which line. There's not enough space and too much line, too close together.
There are alternatives. You could make the fleur-de-lis as a solid and then cross stitch over your single crochets to make the inner line. Another possibility would be to surface crochet with your color for that inner line. That would probably look the best!
You could also just do some simple
experimenting...make a gauge swatch and see how it looks to surface
crochet or cross stitch over your single crochets, to give you an
idea of what would work best.
I hope I'm not asking a duplicate question! Is there a way to get the word chart to adjust for a corner2corner crochet blanket design?
