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!

I am having the same problem.
I'm attempting to create a peyote stitch pattern using the delicas I have on hand. When I choose my own colors, the result is black and white. Has this been resolved?
Candi,
So far, so good in testing. Standard and tunisian crochet word charts seem to be corrected and we're doing a bit more testing. I also did find a related problem with illusion knitting word charts and have corrected this too.
We're doing some final testing today and will post again when we're done.

Melanie,
Most of this yarn is superwash... So it can't be felted.. :p
I asked of this specific type of yarn, so that i would be able to wash them in the machine on other programs than the wool one, to get them completely clean if the boys spilled something on them.. :p

Just a quick little update:
Thanks to some good input on the illusion knitting feature, I just updated the program so it now gives you a graph and word chart by default instead of just a graph.
Let us know what other enhancements you'd like to see in the illusion area!

The freePatternWizard can only see what you give it. If this image is a jpg, it will smudge colors together, even if the colors are only black and white, and give an unwanted result. This image, if sent through as a gif or png file (formats that won't smudge; however, you can't simply change it from jpg to gif or jpg to png, as that will simply take smudgy colors and change those colors into one of those formats with similar results to a jpg), would not be suitable over 20 stitches in width. With no smudging at all, the lines would still be too narrow to fit into a 20-wide image, particularly in crochet.
You can attempt to take the original image and reduce it in a graphics program until it gets to only 20 pixels across, so pixels = stitches, but that's an extremely small image, so it would also produce an unwanted result. And the words at the top would get lost in a blur.
If you do find the file in a format where the white is only white and not several shades of blues/grays, and the black is solid black and not simply shades of gray, setting the number of stitches to a larger number than 20, you may be able to produce a better result; however, my guess is the lettering still won't be legible.
I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you; the problem is the computer doesn't think as we do. When given an image like that, we know to look at the white as only white and the darker color as, say, only black, but the computer merely knows what it's been told to do, so it simply can't look at a blurry image and pick out the familiar, as our eyes can. And when it's got to fit into only 20 stitches, it's finding too small of a size to give you anything more than a blur.
HTH!
