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

Alison,
Welcome! Smile
A later version of our software will offer the ability to start from scratch with a blank graph; I'm very sorry to say that we don't offer the ability to do that at the moment. For now, our software exclusively offers the ability to make patterns from digital images only.
That said, it's not impossible, and here's what you may want to do...if you have access to a computer. (It may also be possible to use a mobile device; I just don't know enough about mobile device graphics programs, as I personally do all graphics work on computer.) Using a computer, you could "draw" your pattern as boxes in a graphics program by using a transparent grid as only a guide, saving your work in a png or tif format, and then using the resulting image here either to output as a black and white cross stitch (for a square grid) or a filet pattern. (The filet pattern is technically for filet crochet, but as it depicts blank or filled squares, that should work for normal or bobble. And, like cross stitch, it's square.)
Hope that helps! If anything is unclear, please let me know, or if you have more questions. And if you do have computer access but not a graphics program, there are two excellent, powerful programs that are free and highly recommended.


Newest piece that is finished : 

this is the picture I am trying to do. I do it on ansi c. it works out ok.  But I need to make the colors brighter so I can see the pattern.  Ansi c gives me 4 pages.  Thank you


De'Andrea,

Awww, wow, your kitty lived to be so old! Kiss My childhood kitties had long lives like that. I told our kitty now that she's not allowed to die on us...EVER. Seriously, I hope she'll be with us a good long time. Kiss

I, too, would love to see Shelley's wire work. I tried it once...couldn't do it. The wire was uncooperative. Frown

That would be great.  I can send you the original image, my generated pattern, and photos of the actual project so far.
