New here, with a question

Hello! I'm new here. Stitchboard was recommended to me in a crochet goup on Facebook. I'm interested in making my own graphs similar to Jody Pyotts. Is it possible to beigin with a blank graph here. I'm needing to lay out the size & insert popcorn stitches. I'm not seeing where this is possible without a picture/image to upload. If it's not possible here, is there any recommendations without sitting down with graph paper & pencil & lots of erasing? Lol

Thank you in advance & I look forward to learning & sharing ideas...

Cindy,

Welcome!

I'm sorry to say that at this point, the software can't create from a blank graph. This will be addressed with a future version, but for now, it's unfortunately not available.

I don't know of any way to work from a blank graph online, but if you have a computer, have you thought of perhaps working with a graphics program, using a color palette of your choice and representing the bobbles with a letter such as x, or an asterisk? If you're on a Windows PC, I can give you links to two very powerful graphics programs that are free, open source and have been around for decades.

As for the Jody Pyott graphs, they work up so beautifully, and I think it's a wonderful idea to design your own, with your own sentiments!
