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

Welcome! Smile
In this version of the software, no, you can only specify the stitches across, not the number of rows. The reason for that is originally we were concerned people would skew or truncate their patterns, so we didn't want them to have an issue and decided to let the Wizard determine the rows/length of a pattern.
The optimal thing to do is make your original image 110 pixels across, so pixels = stitches. The number of rows is a more difficult thing to determine, because crochet isn't square; the stitches are rectangular, so the Wizard is looking more at the height the image is, so rather than attempting to go pixels = rows, it needs to look more at the aspect ratio of the image.
In a future version you'll be able to specify, but even then, the problem would be that it would likely mean designating a number would give you a skewed image if you're trying to go from a square image to a crochet pattern.
As it is now, the best thing is to experiment to get it to the correct length. You could add or subtract a blank border to get it to the correct size. I'm not positive you could get it to exactly 110 pixels, but you could likely get it close.


Hello,

I am happily enjoying your cross stitch pattern maker as I am making patterns from my artwork to sell to customers.

I've been very impressed by what is able to be generated and I would like to be able to add more information to the pattern.

Is it possible to add extra fields such as:
* needle type and size recommendations
* recommended frame sizes
* list of tools for the project
* link to Cross Stitch Skein and Thread Estimator

I'd like to add my own cover page too so I can include a picture of the finished design and more information. I'd also like to include sizing in cm's and change the spelling, eg. color to colour, and Company to Business (I don't trade as the legal entity of a company so that's misleading for my local audience).

Does the premium option ($US5) for private labelling cover this, as in delivering a Word document for editing that I can then save as a PDF.

As PDF's are flattened files that can't readily be edited I'm thinking a Word document would be the easiest solution and could be part of that Premium option. Is that possible please?

Many thanks for your help, I do appreciate it.  Smiley

Dee,
Welcome! Smile
I'm sorry to say I don't know much about looming. I did it as a kid (back when the earth's crust was still cooling Wink) and though I tried again about 10 years ago, I couldn't get the hang of it again. Next to knitting with sticks, looming felt so awkward to me, as it hadn't when I was not yet a knitter. Frown But I do hope someone here can give you the information you're looking for! Kiss I think it's a lovely idea to use an image to make a loom pattern! Kiss


 How can I view the stitchboard color palette in order to match my colors?

Line,

These are really cute!  Kiss  I think you should make them...you can match the colors to your decor!  Kiss  And they'd be perfect for keeping beverages from staining your table.

How is school going?  I hope all is well with you!  Kiss

Remember the guy we know with the husky?  Spoke to his mom today and she said the dog was destroying everything.  Cry  So, sadly, he ultimately couldn't train the dog as he needed to, so the dog is now with a friend of his who hopefully has more time and patience to work with him and train him properly.

I'm not surprised, and nothing against the guy...I think someone has to be really, really special (like you! Kiss) to have the right amount of patience to train a husky.  I know I couldn't do it!

Hugs!
friends
