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!

Hi, all! My name is Kirsten. I have been a member for about a year now and I'm totally embarrassed, but I never took the time to say hi! Please forgive me! I am an avid cross-stitcher and I absolutely love this "Pattern Wizard". I haven't done much cross stitching lately because I am amassing a slew of patterns. I need to get off of this computer and start stitching again, but whenever I find a pic I want to transform it into a pattern. My tastes are Scandinavian cottage chic (Nissen, Uff Da, etc.). Well thanks for listening and again I'm sorry for not doing this sooner!
You've been upgraded! Also note that if you want to make even larger patterns, you can pay only $4.99 for one year to get almost twice what you're getting now...instead of up to 300 stitches across, you'd get up to 500! To get this premier feature, go to "patterns/premier features" in the menu.
beers, you've been upgraded.
Melanie,
I am shocked.. Really in shock..
I have never ever been praised so much for my language in my whole life..
I got an A... Our censor said to me that she would LOVE to have me in her class at the Univeristy, and that my language and my vocabulary is 10 times bigger than that of her 3rd year english students at the university.. She was dissapointed that she could not grade me any higher..
Oh my god.. Got the highest grade in my class.. I still can't believe it..
Just sent the exam papers to the university that I hope to get into this summer, so now I can finally relax a bit..
Only 5 days left until our move.. Or at leat until we get the keys to the house..
- Still in shock...
Welcome!
So glad you found us!
Please excuse me if I'm misunderstanding...the first thought that comes to mind is how large of an image you're trying to use. Even if it's as small as 100 x 100, your image will turn into blobs if you try to size it down as small as 15 x 15 blocks, using one square of color as a full block. If I've misunderstood and you're talking about each block being 15 x 15 cm, that's dependent on your gauge; the fiber you're using and the size crochet hook will give you your exact stitch by row measurements if you make a gauge swatch.
As for filet crochet, that feature is coming, but as yet we have no set date for when it will be available.
If you do want to size something down to 15 x 15 blocks, your image would have to be very, very small and simple to start with. If you look around at filet crochet patterns, unless they're very large, they're usually pretty simple. Even larger filet pieces are generally made in one color, with blocks of stitches or no stitches at all, unlike graphghans, which are individual stitches.
It's not impossible to do what I think you want to do, but my guess is the image you're working from would have to be greatly simplified and converted to only one color (e.g., technically two colors, for the squares with stitches and the squares without).
Hope that helps!
