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!  Laughing

Esther,
I have the same question! Thank you for asking! Did you ever get an answer?

I am back I have been recoupering from a aortic disectison, I am anxious about restarting a few project but I am missing the 300 stitch graph maker and i had access to Lion Brand Home Town.  I went to add a full membership and I can not find a way to pay for it.  If I could get instructions to paying, 300 stitches and adding other yarn preferences.  I will grateful for your assistance.

Sherly,
How do you find sewing needles with big enough eyes? I think what I've been using for fractional stitches is a sharp tapestry needle. Except I live in a place where there are no longer any stitching stores, so options are few.
I like to work with linen, because then fractional stitches are soooo easy!


Memah,
Welcome! Smile
The color number is the number from the palette you've chosen. If you've chosen Red Heart Super Saver, that's the color number designated for each color in your palette. The count is how many stitches you have in a particular color. We don't give actual numbers of balls of wool because it's impossible to know in advance. That number depends on your chosen hook, your chosen fiber and finally, your tension or gauge. All of that information together makes every project as unique as you are! Kiss
In order to figure out your tension or gauge, you must make something called a gauge swatch. And most people hate doing them (yes, I do, too). But they're necessary to know things so you can calculate not just yardage, but also the finished size of your project.
Once you've made a gauge swatch, this link may be helpful in figuring out yardage so you know how much wool to buy. Kiss

Hope that helps! Kiss
