Thank you. I will fix that.
deehansen,
Thanks! I see the pattern now. Apparently it's meant as a chart only standalone pattern, so you can choose the colors and type of yarn you want.
If you're referring to the lack of gridlines, you can draw in your own either by hand post-printing or with a graphics program pre-printing.
As for specific instructions, this particular pattern was uploaded by a Stitchboard member, so we have no control over what people post.
Melanie,
You're absolutely right. When you stop to thing about how to do something you've always just done automatically, it's very strange that you can't figure it out ... it's like it's something new or foreign that you've never seen or done before. Very weird.
I discovered this when I used to fix computers for a living. Whenever I would try to talk someone through a process so they could do it themselves, I had to sit down and figure out exactly what I was doing because I had gotten to the point of doing it automatically w/o thinking about what I was doing.
We humans are strange creatures sometimes. LOL
Debbie,
So with you...I wouldn't wish those horrible things on anyone, either!
Oh, no, the Sumatriptan didn't work?! I'm so sorry. After
something like 15-20 years of having the stupid things (though not
every day), finding this med was such a great thing! I
wish it worked for you...the relief was immense.
They told me the same about not taking more than 2 in 24 hours. I take 1. If that means it takes way longer for the headache to go away, I just put up with it. I won't take 2, not as long as they're so expensive.
That's why I'll try the caffeine first, even at risk of hot flashes and lack of sleep.
Stress makes it soooooo difficult, and losing a job is very unhelpful. And I can't agree with the
people who claim, "I don't let things bother me." I know
people like that, and they do let things bother them.
It's that they're in denial about how much things really bother
them.
I hope the journaling will help you to discover what's causing your migraines.
Especially if a solution can
be found!
You're right, though...when you journal pretty much the same thing every day - "Ouch, my head hurts!" it's not really a breakthrough, is it?!
And if you're not sleeping that's worse...although how anyone can sleep through one of those things is beyond me. And did you notice that when you've slept for a bit, you're completely unrefreshed because you've been fighting that headache the entire time? A few times I've fallen asleep with milder migraines (pre-medications), and though I was able to get a full night's sleep, it wasn't refreshing in the slightest. I woke up more tired than if I hadn't gone to sleep.
Hang in there...hoping they find a solution for you soon!

Gloshei,
With the
freePatternWizard you can choose from a number of different
stitches. Many of the larger pieces seem to be done in peyote,
though loom/square stitch is also used. (Loom and square stitch
basically look the same, but are completely different
techniques.)
I haven't heard of anyone using
the freePatternWizard for bead embroidery. While it probably could
be used for that, my guess is there are other ways of using bead
embroidery for creating larger pieces. It's a completely different
technique, as it allows one to work outside of a grid entirely, so
a grid isn't really necessary if you know where the different
beaded areas should be on a particular piece. (I'm not terribly
proficient at bead embroidery, so I can only say what I've seen and
read about it, that bead artists who use this technique will
generally plot out where beads should be embroidered on the fabric.
There are likely some very talented people who can wing it and just
figure it out as they go, but not being one of them, I'm not sure
how well that would work for most!)
