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 I'm New to this and want to ask some questions. Please can anyone help me
I wanted to convert what I believe to ne a cross stitch pattern of Chewbacca into a knitting chart. Is that possible in Stitchboard? If so, how would I go about it? TYIA

Healdy,
Welcome! 
What a lovely
thing to make for someone! 
No doubt it will be cherished and
appreciated.
No doubt it will be cherished and
appreciated.The size of your pattern is
dependent on several factors, such as yarn type, hook size, and
gauge.
My suggestion would be to look for a
bulky or super bulky yarn, perhaps something like a very sturdy rug
yarn, which will hold up to the wear and tear of being trampled on
the floor year round. Your hook should be suitable for the yarn you
choose, and with a bulky or super bulky yarn, you'll want to use a
large hook.
Once you decide on your yarn and
hook, the next step would be to crochet a swatch, to determine your
gauge. Depending on your gauge, it may be very possible to make
something that fits within the free parameters here; matter of
fact, if your yarn/hook/gauge are large enough, something in the
Premier area like 300 or 500 stitches will likely be way too large,
as just a few stitches will go a very long way!
The one drawback is a very bulky yarn may not have as
many color choices available, though if you pick a simpler pattern,
that likely won't matter.
