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.

Hi, I am new to stitchboard. I have gotten my pic uploaded and on the grid. I need to know how to add words, If anybody can give me some directions that would be helpful.
Thanks so much
I cant wait to start this project.


I’m trying to create a crochet pattern with two background colors. One the background of the afghan two the background inside the logo. How can I tell the pattern wizard to do that?

Nichole,
Welcome! Smile
Unless you're doing Tunisian or filet, the stitch is single crochet; however, it's labeled "standard stitch" here because in the UK a single crochet is called a double crochet - we wanted to avoid confusion.
If you're trying to work to a certain gauge, you'll make swatches to find out what hook size gives you the correct gauge with your chosen yarn.
If gauge isn't important to you, then your hook size will depend on the weight of yarn you're using. The hook size shouldn't make the yarn so tight it becomes uncomfortable to work with it.
If not working to gauge, what I generally do in this case is look at the yarn I'm using and then pick my favorite hook for that weight. So if working with a knitting worsted that tends to run on the thicker side, I might use an I or a J hook.
So it's pretty much about what you're trying to accomplish and how critical gauge is for you. Smile


Hi,

Thank you for replying. If I understand what your saying, the Stichboard palette doesn't connect to a specific color or item in real life. It's more of a guide to match against the products you have or can buy?

Thank you for the sugestion of using the basic palette. What kind of crafts would the full palette be for?

De'Andrea,

No worries, just glad to see you're back! Kiss

Can't wait to see your beaded vulture tapestry. Kiss I love anything unusual!
