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 am trying to make a pattern out of a black and white line drawing...
Why on earth does the program add 28 colors and extra stuff to it making it IMPOSSIBLE to stitch properly?
all i want is a simple balck and white line to stitch...

Hi,
Do you know what software you use to read .pdf files? The process depends on your software. Let me know if you use Adobe Reader for Mac. These instructions should work for that.
Basically when you go to print your pattern using the linked instructions, you need to tell your .pdf program to print it to a single page and tell it to reduce the size to fit.
Let me know what software you use and I'll try to help.

Thank you again Terry, you're a busy person. I really appreciate your attention to this. Beading is my stress relief, and now that I've found patternwizzard im obsessed with making Bead paintings.
Ava,
The Basic Palette is the one I suspect you'll want. Unless you're looking for a certain brand, such as Red Heart Super Saver, the Basic Palette is what you'll find has all of the very basic colors. Brands of yarn will have their own color names. This is why we developed the Basic Palette, because yarn is very difficult to match to specific colors, and even going across brands, which usually isn't recommended due to differences in yarn weights and differences in fibers (e.g., you wouldn't want to use fibers that require different types of care in one project!), you'll be hard pressed to find matching colors beyond the basics.
The Full Palette isn't recommended at all.
DMC is embroidery floss. While there are some who use embroidery floss to crochet, it's a very small fiber and difficult to work with, so though DMC has many color matches compared to conventional yarns, it's not recommended for crochet.
