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 just found this site. I've been crocheting for a few years. I would like to attempt a picture afghan in memory of my father that passed away in August. If successful, I would give it to my mother and make smaller ones for my children and grandson.


What an awesome idea!  I hope you share pictures of the completed projects with us!

Line,

I'm so jealous!  Last I'd heard was not to use real wool in a washer, even with a wool setting, now I know it's fine...thank you!  Kiss  It may be a while before I get one of those...we simply won't get rid of a washer that's perfectly functional, sigh.  But I can dream!  Wink

Oooh, love that about your tent sweater!  What a fantastic idea...after all, I imagine nobody ever sees it, other than your family!  It must be sooooooooooooo nice and warm.  Kiss

Who cares what it looks like?  Kiss  Warmth and comfort are key!

Oh, no!  Cry  Do you think your mother told you it was superwash knowing you'd put it through the regular washer cycle?  If so, that's very mean.  Cry

I'd be upset, too.  Cry  It's not your fault...how were you to know, but frustrating nonetheless!  Cry  Of course, I wouldn't want to give it to someone for a doll, either.  Cry  It would be heartbreaking.

Awwwww, that must be nice, to spend time with the dogs in the morning.  Kiss

Hugs!

Hi. I haven't attempted to make another graph since last fall. I do have the upgrade but I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to work what I need into 300 stitches.

What I am trying to make is something that is considerably larger. Is there any way to figure out how to work a 700 stitch across graph within the 300 stitch allowance? Does that make sense? I am really not good at math. lol

Would there be any more upgrades in the future for going larger than 300 across? Thanks. 

Becky,

Welcome!  Smile  So glad you found us!

To answer your questions:
1) If you're looking for a sort of "paint" program to design cross stitch patterns, I know there are several available, but I would be remiss in recommending one over another as I have no experience with them, I'm sorry to say.

2) In your finished pattern, under "Size(s)," it will show the sizes of the finished item in 14, 16 and 18 count.  In order to determine how large your cloth should be cut, you should add about 3 inches on each side to that measurement, or 6 inches for the horizontal and 6 inches for the vertical measurement.  That will give you enough extra fabric for framing.  Smile

Astrid,

It's ok to look at, as long as you don't have to go out in it, right? Wink

We've been lucky so far, even if our temps are unseasonably cold. (Ok, it's cold for us) I feel for those of you who have the real cold. I really don't mind the snow so much, if the temps don't drop enough to turn it to ice, and I don't have to shovel it.

Melanie, I swear by lavender oil. I've used it for years on my chapped hands, but I also use it on all skin wounds. Sometimes I'll mix it with tea tree oil if there is risk of infection. We even use lavender oil on psoriasis, which runs in our family.

Pork and black eyed peas are both considered prosperity foods, so southern tradition dictates black eyed peas and ham on New Years for a prosperous year. Laughing

In addition, 2015 is a year of 8. Numerologiocally, 8 is a number of prosperity.
