# My projects
At the bottom right is a button in purple that shows a pen. Here a new project is created.
# Kind of handicraft
Since versions 1.40 (Android) and 1.20.0 (iOS), there is a selection of the kind of handicraft before the project is created.
This offers some advantages for the later course and our development. Depending on the kind of handicraft selection, the selectable color palettes change, the color limits adapt to the the kind of handicraft in a meaningful way and when starting the projects, the selection of the kind of handicraft is adapted or skipped.
Currently there are the following kinds of handicraft to choose from

# Format
# Format size
If you've shared access to photos on your phone, the gallery will open and let you choose your desired motif. If nothing happens when you press Pen, you should go to the Android settings under
Settings > Apps > Wooltasia > Permissions
and make sure that the app may access the photo gallery.
After you've selected a picture, you can then enter your format.
# Block scaling and image rotation
Under the desired motif on the right are two buttons.
With the left button you can determine your image section. By default, the button is selected (appears Purple ). If you have the desired image detail and don't want to change anything, you can fix the image section by turning off the button (appears Gray).
With the symbol next to it you can rotate your section. By default, it is not selected ( gray appears). If you want to rotate your section, then select the button (appears Purple ), then you can rotate your picture with two fingers and adjust to your wishes.
# Stitch sample
Once you have your desired size and your image set up, it continues with your stitch sample. Tap or swipe on the input mask for your stitch sample.

Colors that are used are marked with an eye symbol. By clicking on a color field, the corresponding color is deactivated and the eye symbol disappears. Click again to activate the color again.
