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!  Laughing

CrochetDizzle,
Welcome! Smile
Any time you'd like to show us pictures of your work, feel free to post here, so we can all drool! Kiss
As for knitting, woo hoo, you know everything there is to know; all knitting is a variation of basic knit and purl stitches, so since you have those two in your repertoire, you know everything!
Love right back to you and have an amazing day/night! Kiss


Hi everyone! I'm Jan, from Tennessee. 62 y.o. newbie, in the sense I haven't crocheted since I was 12! Life got in the way! Retired now, so back at it! Look forward to seeing what people have to say and what we can do in this community!




Hi cwcoup, what a lovely memorial to your friend.

As for what yarn is best, it really comes down to your preferences. I like the Caron One Pound even though it has fewer colors.

I have used the Deborah Norville, and though I love the softness and the quality, I find that it doesn't work well when weaving all those ends because of the smoothness of it.
I imagine that Simply Soft would be difficult to keep the tails hidden, too.

I haven't used the Red Heart for a graphgan, but a lot of people in my crochet group do.

The Herrschners is a tad bit thinner than Red Heart, but it does have a lot of colors and is a bit less expensive.

So there's my two cents, hope there is some info that helps you decide.

Loralee,

Welcome!

We have two options for more stitches, 300 and 500 stitches across. We call these Premier features, and we've introduced them with nominal costs; 300 stitches across carries an introductory price of $2.99 for one year, and 500 stitches across carries an introductory price of $4.99 for one year.

You can read more about it and other features we currently offer (we have over 100 planned features in addition to that!), and you can also subscribe on this page:

Melanie,

Yes, I was very surprised the fees most definitely seemed to be upside down.  It was rather weird.  But, as you say, it's their loss.
