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!

Hi my name is Wendy I live in Uk Staffordshire. I have done a couple of c2c's but now want to create my own.
Hi, I'm Bryon from Iowa.
I am not a
beader but my wife is. She does almost exclusively one-drop peyote
stitching (hope I'm saying that right). Since I am the computer
person of the family I help her download patterns and generally try
to assist her.
One of the difficulties I saw
her struggle with is keeping her place in a printed pattern. She
had to continuously move her focus back and forth from her beaded
work back to find her location in the pattern. She did a wonderful
job but I always thought that it was an error-prone process. So I
made a web page that displayed her patterns and spoke the color of
the next bead(s) to her. All she had to do was hit the space bar on
our laptop and the next bead was told to her. The space bar is
pretty easy to find without shifting your eyes or your
concentration too much. Since many modern web browsers have
built-in speech capability, this was moderately easy.
Then I came across your site and saw that you allowed your users to create their own patterns. I think it would be really neat if a person could create a pattern with the Pattern Wizard and have their computer speak the pattern to them.
I'm
not there yet but I thought you might be curious to see what I have
so far. It you go to http://wiscons.com/BeadReader/ you
can see we have a number of patterns in a format my reader
understands. Since many of the patterns are purchased and the
creator asked they not be shared I have locked them. But several
are free and you could see and hear how everything works.
Let me know if you think there are any practical
possibilities.
Bryon
bgwatkins,
Welcome!
First, kudos on doing a gauge swatch!
Second, here's a chart I found for figuring out yarn from a swatch:

Hope that helps!
ladies and gents whether you are a loomer or not please read this,this was brought to my attention by a wonderful loom band designer Kate Schultz (Izzalicious Designs) on youtube and facebook please read this :
For ALL friends of mine who are interested in supporting the Rainbow Loom Designers who have had their work STOLEN by Russian Loomer, Sergey Patina, the following might be of interest to you. He's recently been featured in several newspaper articles and even on TV stations, where they make the claim that in the last year he's become the most popular Rainbow Loomer, even surpassing his American counterparts who've been doing this longer than him. What they fail to mention is that his entire portfolio of work are stolen designs from.. us. I have not seen an original piece of work on his YouTube channel.
Also, while many of us Designers are struggling to help make a living out of our craft to help support our families, this thief is making thousands upon thousands of dollars on our hard work. A design can take days to perfect, it can take hours and some times days to record, edit, and produce, then one has to launch it to the social media groups and assist with questions etc. A design does not simply just create itself.
The TV News Station that aired the story about this fabulous Russian Designer have a Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/gtrkpskov?hc_location=ufi ГТРК "Псков" then there's also the Hamley's group of toy shops that supported him Hamleys Regent Street, London Hamleys Russia Hamleys let them know your feelings about this, post on their sites!
The News story that they ran (yes you can click settings and make it show you the closed captions in English) https://www.youtube.com/watch… (9 minute 9 seconds mark is where the story begins)
AND if you'd like to see how much money this thief is making from our designs, then take a look at http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/lbandsru
ALL of the designs he's stolen are copyrighten. We all clearly state that our work can not be remade, redistributed, copied, reuploaded - the fact he thinks that copying our work into his own language and that giving the original designer credit in his description is sufficient, is a slap in the face. Reporting to YouTube will do nothing, as he's "remade" the video and isn't using any of our original footage or photo's.
Please support the original Designers of these works, boycott Sergey Patina and his channel, spread the word about his disgusting behaviour. To be lauded as a "hero" in his country when his reputation is built on the blood, sweat and tears of others, is a sham, a mockery and hurting the families of designers like myself and others - Crafting Fantastic Marloomz Creations Loombicious Izzalicious Designs Jordantine1 Looming WithCheryl to name a few.
Wish someone like the The
Huffington Post would go into bat for us and
spead the word
this man is nothing
but a common thief and it's a disgrace that he is being praised and
called a russian hero please help to stop this
man
