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!

As I come up to speed again on new development, I just corrected a major word chart problem for Crochet charts. (Thanks, Sherry!)
We've had a few questions about the word chart counts possibly being "slightly off".
The counts in the previous version of word charts included turning chains. This new one does not so the printed counts will actually be 1 stitch fewer than the row width.
I'll be working on finishing up a bunch of new things. At the same time I'm working on a whole new rewrite of the graphics engine. There will eventually be a whole new look to the program.
Have fun!

Melanie,
You're absolutely right. When you stop to thing about how to do something you've always just done automatically, it's very strange that you can't figure it out ... it's like it's something new or foreign that you've never seen or done before. Very weird.
I discovered this when I used to fix computers for a living. Whenever I would try to talk someone through a process so they could do it themselves, I had to sit down and figure out exactly what I was doing because I had gotten to the point of doing it automatically w/o thinking about what I was doing.
We humans are strange creatures sometimes. LOL
Sherry,
Oh, true, yarns starting from about worsted on up are woefully bad for Tunisian...such a disappointment.
But the lighter yarns make
the fabric less coarse.
Hey, it gives good results, so of course I can see why you'd prefer it!
I mostly like the lighter yarns for doll clothing for the smaller dolls. Worsted and chunky weights are better suited for larger dolls.

Leigh,
It sounds like it would be
a much more interesting look!
Are you posting
from a mobile device? We don't have the editing tools available
there, but if you can post from a computer, there are editing
tools, and the one for posting a pic from your computer is in the
top row of tools, toward the right - the tree. That gives a prompt
to "browse" for an image on your computer.
At some point, we expect to have mobile editing
functions, but I'm sorry to say we don't have an estimate of when
that will happen.
Anyway, if
you're on a computer, I'd LOVE to see how it
looks!
Secoya,
True...but I'd like to
join in. I've found a few sources, but most of them are super high
priced. I wish Michaels here were open for
curbside. Basic standard size cloth I can get...who knew floss
would be at such a premium at a time like this! It's just plain old
cotton floss, fer cryin' out loud, not specialty silk threads! I
guess this is the new way...everything that's hard to get now is
priced at a premium, like toilet paper!

way you've done the stitching is how I was going to work on a
similar-sized piece of aida cloth. I was thinking the other nice
way would be to put all of them side-by-side, starting with January
and going through December, but I'm guessing that would have to be
a specially cut piece of fabric and nope, not now for
that.
Thank you for understanding. I haven't yet given up, am still
looking, but unless I find something I'll be unable to work along
with you until stores are open. Meanwhile, though, I can live
vicariously through you (maybe even precariously? 
) and keep up with your progress. Which
I'm thoroughly enjoying. LOL, in addition to being jealous.
Sheesh, who knew one should be prepared
with needles, floss, yarn, beads and pretty much anything else for
crafting?
