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!

That is OK, thank you. Whenever you can get to it is fine. I just thought that it would be a good idea.
Piddy,
Thanks for reposting!
That's so amazing! I'd never be able to do that...you have my utmost admiration!
BTW, the reason the original photo went away was because it was an embedded image from Facebook. Facebook only allows temporary links, so eventually it went away because the link is no longer the same, even if the picture is still up.
If you wouldn't mind, we'd really appreciate it if you'd go back in and edit your original message, then add it as a photo there, too, the same way you did in this newer post.
Amazing work!
Thank you both for the warm welcome and no, I've been knitting and sewing (gran was a tailoress and kiltmaker) about the same amount of time, but had to stop because of athritis in my hands. I can still crochet thanks to having big handles on my hooks. I have a set of Amour hooks and a couple of sets with bamboo handles that let me continue doing the fine lace work I love.

Guamlite,
Welcome!
It's more
complex than that. If you want your blanket to measure to a certain
size, you'll first have to do a gauge swatch with the yarn and size
hook you've chosen. This gauge swatch (no worries...just about
everyone hates making them) will tell you how many stitches and
rows you get to an inch. Then you can use that information to
calculate out the number of stitches you'll need to make the
blanket the size you want. Since everyone's gauge is different and
there are different sizes of yarn and hooks you may choose, these
numbers will be unique to you. This is why I can't do a gauge swatch
and give you solid numbers, because I may crochet tighter or looser
than you do, so my numbers would be completely different from your
numbers, even if I used exactly the same yarn and hook.
This is why I can't do a gauge swatch

number of stitches. Say you've discovered you need 100 stitches to
produce a certain size. You'd enter "100" and then the system will
calculate out the number of rows. At this time you can't designate
the number of rows. That's because when we originally developed the
freePatternWizard, we were worried people would skew or truncate
their patterns by designating a number of rows that was too large
or small. So for now, the only way to add or subtract rows is to
add borders to your original image so you get the result you
want.

It would be super cool if the PatternWizard could generate
patterns for C2C graphagans.
