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!

it's nothing to difficult luckily
she is very fond of simplistic cross stiching because it remindes her of grandma, so im going to make some flowers that i remember grandma used to have in her garden and frame it :^)
im atm planing a design of a purple garden lupin
it was awful they nearly lost me 3 times and to be honest because i can no longer work because of my health looming is the only thing that keeps me sane and it's so theraputic for me
Hi, and welcome!
Thank you...so glad you like
our site!
Actually, the Stitchboard palette is more of a modified DMC palette (e.g., cotton for counted cross stitch). Because those colors would be next to impossible to match in wool, my suggestion would be to make any patterns for crochet or knitting with the Stitchboard Basic Palette. It differs from the full palette in that there are a limited number of shades of each color. Unfortunately, yarn manufacturers don't want to get stuck with a lot of inventory of colors that don't sell well, so they're unlikely to provide yarn colors in the way DMC provides floss colors (e.g., hundreds of shades) for cross stitching. And the results likely won't look quite as nice with the Stitchboard Basic Palette, but it will be much easier to match the colors.
Hope that helps!

Secoya,
LOL, I know you're not
exaggerating, because I suffer from the same addiction
disease! 
Your friend
is apparently a genius! Ha, I think of all of the problems I could
have avoided...and didn't...because I didn't read the instructions
first. 
Rose,
Welcome!
As yours is the
first and only request we've ever had for mosaic crochet, I'm sorry
to say we don't have instructions for this technique. I'm not sure
how popular it would be, as it's (in my opinion) kind of a
difficult technique to explain, not as simple as "change color from
color A to color B." It's very beautiful, though!
If we do get more requests for it, we'll be certain to
consider adding it in the future.
