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.

For starters, thank you for this amazing "go-to" program!! Unfortunately my brain is officially overloaded and at full capacity of what I am able to comprehend this evening. I am trying to make a graphgan that will end up being approximately 45" (w) X 72"(long). (Doesn't have to be exact...just close)
My previous afghan was a bit longer due to my hook (I was using a [J] crochet hook) and I started with a chain of events 198. Looks like I will be upgrading...my attempt at creating my first chart I noticed I could only use it 150 stitches and then it told me my height.

Is there any way that instead of asking for the number of stitches of the width, we could tell the wizard our desired finished size in width and length and what stitch we wanted to use? Then from there the wizzard could determine the number of stitches and rows we need?

Gosh, if y'all could do that, that would be AMAZING!
either way I'm happy to have found this site!
Thank you in advanced for your response!


Terry,

Having had a computer repair business at one time, I totally understand the time and complications involved in such an upgrade! 

I pray all goes smoothly for you! 

I think it's awesome you take the time to keep the users updated; I have been in environments that this was not the case and it caused a lot of problems.

Thanks for *everything* you do behind the scenes.  I know that many people do not have any idea just how much time and work is involved in keeping sites like this, as well as programming PatternWizard, entails. 





vodka would go down really well right about now after the christmas and new year i have had

I would also appreciate being upgraded so I can get bigger graphs and so I can get them in word charts. Thanks!

Dear Melanie!

Thank you! One of my 2 ordered needles arrived yesterday, and I am confident this is the right size. I have managed to do a gauge swatch with the yarn I chose which I am quite pleased with. And it is almost square! Smiley Actually, I read it here for the first time that the size of your stitches is so dependent on the yarn and needle size, and it helped me a lot for understanding! Smiley


 
Actually, when working the tunisian crochet stitch I discovered I have two more questions and would be most grateful if you could help. I always try to understand the things as well as possible,... Wink

First thing is, in German tutorials they almost always do a chain stitch before making the back row. I have tried this, and in my work - indifferent to what needle size I used - the edges became much straighter and neater without the chain. Do you know what the chain is supposed to do and if it is better to do it or not?

Second, my above gauge swatch is 20 stitches and 20 rows. I have realized that when I now count the stitches, I can see 19 little squares per row. Does that mean that I have to chain 1 stitch more than what my grid shows?

I hope you understand my questions... English is not my first language. And although I think I do speak it rather well I sometimes have difficulties with special terms like crochet terms! Wink

Thank you so much for everything! Kiss

Greetings, Astrid
