I will also continue to work through some bug fixes and begin adding some new things.

A few intermittent problems regarding black and white colors are being addressed first. I made a couple changes and found two more related issues which are being addressed. I had hoped to get the first update enabled by now but with the two other issues, it will be just a bit longer.

Rest assured we're continuing to make fixes and updates while the Covid-19 has us locked down here in Illinois.

We'll keep you posted and you'll see update notices at the top of the freePatternWizard page as they come live.

Again, we wish you all the best of health.

Hello. I have a question please. I uploaded/downloaded the picture I wanted to crochet and downloaded/printed the written directions. It seemed like the written directions were off and I had to go back on several occasions so I wanted to ask the following question and hope it makes sense.

This would be a small sample as obviously each row is much longer:

Row 4: Medium Red (12), Light Orange (1)...

Row 5: White (1), Medium Red (6) …

Row 6: Medium Red (11), White (9), Medium Red (9)….

Row 7: Light Orange (1), White (9), Light Orange (1), Medium Red (4), White (11)….

When you have uploaded/downloaded pictures to crochet is the written pattern taking

into consideration that you are turning your work and then working back from the other side of your project ?

Or am I to look to the next row as an odd numbered row and read it from the end to the beginning? (i.e. on row 7 started at end of line and reading right to left White...Medium Red, Light Orange, White, Light Orange? (wild suggestion I know :O)

Hope that question makes sense. I am using a single crochet and I am counting my stitches etc but I don't know how/why but it just isn't working out right.

I assume it would be written exactly as I would crochet. Is it better to use the picture graph rather than the written instructions

Any suggestions and answers would be absolutely awesome as I don't really want to abandon the project.

Thank you!

Neave,

Thanks for letting me know!
