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!

Probably nothing. This software can only go across 150 stitches. i use pattern wizard and download pictures and crop and save. I just posted to see if all the features are working. Last time I looked at messages it said he wasn't working complettely.

Hi I'm a newbie here. I just wanted to introduce myself, I am a self taught beader, and love it at the age of 54. Your never to young to learn,lol.
I wondered if any of you have done flatwork bead crochet as I would like to know the best way of doing it. Any advice would be gratefully received
Line,
Sounds like you must go shopping for yarn in different colors! I see new yarn in your future...
That's a really cute idea, to make them in different colors so everyone knows which coaster their glass is on!
I bet you did far better than you think on your math exam.
You're so smart!

It's sad, but I kind of had a feeling the dog wasn't going to last with this guy. He's very sweet, but he's young and I don't think he quite realized what he was getting himself into.
Oh, no, Silver really is doing a number!
Sounds like she's testing you
quite a bit. You know, I saw the picture of her sitting
on you...soooooooo cute!
Though you probably didn't
think it was quite as cute at the time!
And the urinating on the floor...that's the worst! That smell lingers, even after you clean it up.
I know someone who had that
with her dogs when their training was interrupted with a situation
that left them with no training for much too long. So
they didn't learn and they stunk up the entire house.
All of the floors had to be
redone.
And then Silver is jumping the fence?
Man, sounds like she's
getting worse than a kid!
So glad she does listen when she's being called...LOL, and hopefully not just for food?
I'm also hoping our friend's friend is good with training the dog. He really was a beautiful boy, but you could tell he was always raring to go, and not necessarily in a good way. Nervous energy. Like he would rather have been doing other things, and if he couldn't get the challenges he needed, he was going to invent some, sigh.
Thank you so much, hon.
Your thoughts are greatly
appreciated!
It's going...just trying to
get through everything as well as possible. And of course
in the middle of everything...we had the flu, ugh, despite getting
flu shots last fall.
Hope all is going well with you.
How are things going with the
house, boyfriend, etc?
How are the kids
doing? 
BTW, I don't see them as often as I'd like, but when I do see your pics, they're sooooooo great!
You're very photogenic and
your pictures turn out soooooo beautifully, and, well the dogs' do,
too! 
Lots of hugs and warm thoughts going right back your way.

Janet,
What an adorable dog!


For shorter
areas of yarn, it's best to wind it onto bobbins. You're right not
to want to carry colors over long distances where they aren't used;
it's inefficient and would only add to the bulk. And there's really
no need to carry it if a particular color isn't used in a huge
area.
Bobbins will allow you the freedom of
not having to jockey around many colors at once. You can leave the
bobbins hanging from the work, out of your way, while you have the
freedom to work other areas.
There's another
way of working in colors, which someone here (BetwixtTheStitch -
Sherry) uses often: cross stitch.
Cross
stitch could be used on single crochet for smaller areas. Instead
of single crochet, Sherry uses Tunisian as a base and will then
cross stitch over that. Single crochet will also work; the
particular crochet stitch is a personal choice. Cross stitch allows
for a bit more control over where colors go and then you don't have
to plan quite so far ahead.
