Hi, All
First, for anyone having any problems bringing up the freePatternWizard pattern creation software by using the top drop-down menu, feel free to Take This Link
Our showcase has been updated. If you've previously uploaded a showcase in the past, please check to see if it's been posted; meanwhile, if you want to submit one (or another one, if you've already posted before), feel free to do so!
Also note we now have an additional (optional) assembly page for the freePatternWizard. This is for larger pieces that have multiple pages. Much smaller patterns won't need this.
To freePatternWizard paid Premium subscribers having problems logging in:
If you're logged into your Stitchboard account (shows "Hi, name" in the upper right corner of each page), you can ignore the rest of this message.
If you're not logged into your Stitchboard account and you are a freePatternWizard paid Premium subscriber, please take this link one time to verify your subscription(s). It will also ask you to change your password. Again, you only need to do this once.
If you are not a paid Premium subscriber and are having problems logging in, try logging into the Stitchboard website. If you see an "Invalid login username or password" message, you may need to re-register at this link or by clicking the "Register" link at the top of the page. If you try re-registering and get a "duplicate email address" message, you'll need to go through the "password change" function by using this link.
To read a particular post, simply click on it!
There are also other issues with PDF
files.Also...
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.

Hi, Pearllex.
One other thing regarding the artwork option. It's actually never been turned on because it had a bug and I never took the time to work on it because I wanted to make it better.
I've recently revisited the function for a company that uses the program and have improved it a bit. It's still not done but close.
There are new features coming soon and this will hopefully be one of them.
What this function does is try to combine colors that are close to one another, thus reducing the overall number of colors and smoothing out transitions where it's currently inserting several similar colors. I'll describe the function in detail when I do turn it on.

yep i'm sure the men of this wrld are just aliens dressed in some mort of material to make them look like human being men
Melanie,
Welcome...great name!
My suggestion is to try something smaller than a large item like a blanket for your first project. If you're still new to crochet and new to graphing as well, it may turn out to be a very daunting task to complete in only 7 weeks, particularly something with a lot of detail such as a graphed design.
A crochet graph is read bottom to top, right to left for the first row and all odd numbered rows, left to right for the second and all even numbered rows.
I've been crocheting and knitting for over 40 years and when I attempt something new, I do exactly the same thing as I'm suggesting here...I start small (because if I don't, I'm usually sorry, LOL). When I wanted to learn bead crochet a few years ago, after a laughable attempt with seed beads and thread, I started fresh with yarn and pony beads, instead of the small seed beads. The idea of making something as large as a beaded bracelet was unthinkable until I'd mastered enough bead crochet to feel comfortable!
