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!

Lynn,
When you created your graph, did you make it as a PDF, and if so, on the first page it should have the image you've used, followed by four columns. The first one shows a small square of the color, the second has a heading of "symbol," the third is color (listed by number) and the fourth would be a "color description," telling you the names of the different colors. In my test image, I had a few shades of red, pink and purple, plus a white and a gray.
If this isn't showing for you, please let me know.
If there's a problem, as
long as Terry (Support) is able to reproduce it, he can fix it.
Hi again!
Since we now have Premier subscribers who can go to 500 stitches across (information here), we got into a discussion regarding the old default setting of generating patterns of the number pixels across in the uploaded image. We figured most of the users would not automatically want the 500 stitches when using a larger image so we now default to the fixed (but changeable) number of 80.
To manually raise this count, simply enter the desired stitch count in the box in section 6.
Also, there was a minor bug in the Illusion Knitting function where the word charts could have shown improperly. If stitched the way it printed out, it would have worked but the notations were not what I wanted. A row might have shown K10, P4, P2, P5, K7. The corrected version would now show K10, P11, K7. Again, someone knitting the pattern would have thought the system was sipping a little too much of something but it would have stitched out properly.
I'm winding up another new feature and hope to have it running soon.

Line,
I agree...it would be lovely for them to get to know other people with huskies...and I'm sure they'll appreciate the ability to ask advice in person and to get help with something that may be a difficult problem.
It would be the way I feel about meeting up with other crocheters!
Camping trips...have you gone on any? Or to meet-ups? It sounds so exciting!

Gloshei,
My apologies if I'm
misunderstanding your question.
The
freePatternWizard isn't a graphics program, so if you're trying to
use that to make a pattern from a large original, it won't work
well.
The best thing to do is decide on the
dimensions you want the finished piece to be and then size your
image accordingly, where stitches across = pixels. So if you wanted
something that was 100 stitches across, you would resize your image
to 100 pixels across. However, there's one other problem - the
standard photo formats usually aren't good for making patterns
because if they use something like a jpg format, the format will
have all kinds of junk pixels introduced in different spots. That's
just the nature of a jpg, unfortunately.
You
may be able to get through the jpg issues before uploading to the
freePatternWizard by using a graphics program to blow up the image
to see if there are random pixels in the image.
In the future, there will be a version of the
freePatternWizard that will allow you to do some editing, but in
the meantime the version that is out there now doesn't allow
that.
If you don't have a suitable graphics
program and are on a Windows PC, if you'd like I can suggest two
very powerful and free graphics programs that can be downloaded.
