site news and information

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.

I'm not sure what you mean by an inset crochet pattern, but no, mosaic isn't a technique our software will handle and nothing can be done once a pattern is made to turn it into something else, beyond starting again with your original and making different choices.
If, when you mention an inset crochet pattern, you mean a graph, my suggestion would be to start from your original image and choose a graph instead of or in addition to a word chart.
As for mosaic, part of the reason we haven't addressed it is there's no particular definition of mosaic. I've seen a few different definitions of mosaic, but nothing and nobody seems to agree on what this technique is. Frown


Gloshei,
Welcome! Smile What a wonderful and interesting name you have!
I'm sure your daughter will love such a beautiful and thoughtful gift! Kiss
In my opinion, I don't think one necessarily needs to be an expert beader to do a project like this. Though it definitely does require a LOT of patience, as it's a super long-term project!
A suggestion I have for starting something so large is if you'll be using even count peyote, to bead a number of waste rows before you start your project. The reason I suggest that is to stabilize the rows so that you'll be able to work from bottom to top very evenly. I actually do this for small projects, so it doesn't just work for large ones. Otherwise, I find the bottom rows of any project can look wonky and unattractive, as I'm just getting into the correct tension for the beadwork. Frown
Best of luck and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Smile


Debbie,

Loving all of these ideas...brilliant!  Kiss

Thinking Garnstudio would have some interesting charts.  They're my favorite "go to" for free patterns...

Fo instance, this pattern has lace, and it does have charts:
https://www.garnstudio.com/pattern.php?id=7398&cid=17

I'd especially love to learn about using charts to modify patterns.  I'm almost always modifying patterns, because my vision is usually different than a particular pattern.  Smile

As for a chart to decode, that would be nice, too.  Smile  Perhaps a pattern that's a bit less complex than the lace pattern above?

How exciting...thank you for doing this!  Kiss


no i wasn't in it i was there when it was filmed but i was out of sight of the cameras to shy to be in front of a camera 

Denise,

Welcome!  Smile

I hope you can find a suitable pattern.  Wish you could locate the one from the '80s!  Sadly, it seems the older patterns have disappeared...one of my WIPs is a pattern that was completely ruined by moisture, and finding it again has proved impossible, just as you've discovered.

Hope you have much better luck at finding what you're looking for than I've had!  Smile
