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!

Hello all!!
i've loved cross stitch for yeeeears and decided to get back into it. I've only ever used kits but I'd really love to get into creating and making my own deisgns. I'm based in the UK but don't really know what I'm looking for when it comes to the basics so would love recommendations on brand names to use / avoid for the tools needed.
Many thanks and i look forward to seeing more from you all <3
Chrissy,
Welcome!
I'm a righty, so I hope someone reading this can give you some pointers for lefties! Meanwhile, if you're using the freePatternWizard there's a setting for left-handed people in #7, "I am left-handed." So I hope that helps.
In general, if you want to know, say, finished measurements, you'll want to make a gauge swatch with your chosen hook and fiber. The gauge swatch is unique to you; everyone crochets with different tension, so there's no one size fits all!
I always try to recommend starting with a small project first. There are different trains of thought on this. My feeling is that by starting small, you'll get a taste for whether or not this is something you'll want to do on a larger project. But if you're one of those people who likes to just jump in, feel free!
I'm not sure what other questions you have, so please let me know what your questions are!
aww bless
as i've said to you melanie i no longer cross stitch because i can no longer see the squares on the aida fabric and my only choice is the horrid plastic squared stuff and i've used that once and never ever again i made the pattern that way to use it for a loom band mural but anyone is welcome to use it
Thank you so much I had to view my email a different way all the links had gone to my spam mail lol. Now that I can receive my patterns may I be upgraded please
