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!

Whenever I buy a pattern that is bigger than one page, there is usually a shaded few rows of overlap, which I find very helpful to smooth the transition from page to page, and so I do not make mistakes. On the freePatternWizard, there are just some weird gray rows that do not have the overlapping symbols. Is there a shaded area on the program that I completely missed? If not, what are those grey squares for? I think that for a software that makes such big patterns, the shaded areas would be nice to have, two or three rows.
Carol,
Welcome!
I like Sherry's idea, too. She's right...some people tape all of the pages together, but in the case of 30 pages, I think it makes more sense to staple groups of rows together...less bulk and confusion!
FYI, we do have a feature in development, to resize patterns for printing so you can fit more lines on a PDF page.
Debbie,
You're so welcome!
Wow, thanks so much for the positive feedback on my art & tree of life pendants! I have so much I want to do, never enough time.
The eyes in the the Wonder image didn't in show up very well when I tried it at 300 stitches. I edited it this evening to get a sharper .jpg; it looks like that might make a difference.
Meanwhile, I'm working on other artwork that has a deadline. I'll try to redo Wonder & the one called Hidden Treasure that I submitted to the Mall asap & let you know how it works out. Thanks, that's very nice if Terry can do something else if it doesn't work out after I retry!
Welcome!
If you're asking about making a pattern using the freePatternWizard and the above image, to be honest, I think the freePatternWizard would be way overkill. You have a very simple, lovely image, which could be hand converted without much effort using a simple graphics program. If you're going to use the freePatternWizard, the problem is that it will make the image larger and a lot more complex than is really necessary or optimal for earrings. The program will also attempt to convert the gray parts of the background into colors or may make it part of the image.
If you make a simple outline with the help of a graphics program, you can roughly plot the image onto a grid as beads in square or peyote stitch. That will give you the best results. The freePatternWizard isn't meant to handle photos to produce them to such a tiny scale; its strength is in turning larger images into patterns, such as turning one's wedding photo into a beaded portrait.
