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!

Line,
Sherry is amazing...but then so are you with your stuffed animals!
Hi guys!
As you might have guessed, cross stitching is not that cool for people in my age. When I told my friends that I found it fun and soothing they looked at my as if I was some old party-pooper. I hope to get a different response from you guys!
I have just recently started, and need all the advice you can give. I have started will just a black thread and have stitched some inspiring (*cough* more like hilarious) words and quotes. But I plan to make nice ones to give to friends.
I am looking forward to getting to know you guys and all your tips and tricks!

Neave,
Yeah, probably best off not doing anything for tweedle dee & tweedle dumb...I can't imagine either of them are worth a jail sentence!
Welcome!
The filet crochet feature is not yet available, which is why you can't choose it...no worries, you're not doing anything wrong!
Karen,
Welcome!
I'm not positive I'm understanding your question, but I'll try to answer what I think you're asking. I believe you're saying you want to graph something in a size that would work as a pillowcase, rather than as a blanket.
The fact is that the size your pattern turns out is entirely up to you; the freePatternWizard doesn't actually know the difference of whether you want a pillowcase or an afghan or just a picture. If you make a swatch and figure out the number of stitches per inch, you can set the width you want your pattern to turn out (e.g., number of stitches). The only issue you may have is with the number of rows, as the freePatternWizard does that automatically, because that keeps your pattern from distorting. However, you can fudge it by adding borders at either the top and bottom or the sides of your image, which will help make the length or the width greater, depending on your desired result.
Hope I've answered your question.
