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

Veronica,

As I always tell people, try to use a photo with the same number of pixels across as you want stitches across.  By doing this, the program will not make any changes by dropping pixels so basically, "what you see is what you get" — meaning your pattern should come out looking the same as your photo.

I also had another thought that sometimes improves the quality of your pattern and "averages" out the pixels a bit and maybe would help with your pixelation.  You may want to try checking the "Antialias on" box in section 8.  This smooths out some areas.  It's hard to explain but you may just want to try it to see if your pattern looks better.

Let me know if I can help further!

Terry

Lady7666,
Welcome! Smile
Currently, it's not possible to edit a finished graph. That capability will be available in a later version, but I'm sorry to say I don't have a specific date of when that will be.


Welcome Cindy, I look forward to seeing your bead work. I have an internet friend who lives in Paignton, Devon UK. She's not a bead weaver tho.

Thank you that clarify's thing a lot for me.  

Lizzi,

Welcome!  Smile

Goodness, I can't imagine working off of an Excel spreadsheet!  Like you found, my counts and stitches would likewise be a mess.  Frown

I can make a suggestion that we add conversions from Excel spreadsheets to word charts to the freePatternWizard, but the final determination would have to be made by our programmer as to whether or not this is possible.  Smile
