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!
If you're using a computer, I can point you to two very powerful and free graphics programs that will help you edit your original image so you can make the changes you want.
I have a lot of pieces here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=tragicprincess&set=a.634858983277362
Would love any ideas and if you guys want any patterns I've made
Ava,
The Basic Palette is the one I suspect you'll want. Unless you're looking for a certain brand, such as Red Heart Super Saver, the Basic Palette is what you'll find has all of the very basic colors. Brands of yarn will have their own color names. This is why we developed the Basic Palette, because yarn is very difficult to match to specific colors, and even going across brands, which usually isn't recommended due to differences in yarn weights and differences in fibers (e.g., you wouldn't want to use fibers that require different types of care in one project!), you'll be hard pressed to find matching colors beyond the basics.
The Full Palette isn't recommended at all.
DMC is embroidery floss. While there are some who use embroidery floss to crochet, it's a very small fiber and difficult to work with, so though DMC has many color matches compared to conventional yarns, it's not recommended for crochet.
Piddy,
Okay, I think we're using terms interchangeably that aren't interchangeable. So here's an example; please specify which one you're doing in the drawing below, the left or the right.
In this example, your afghan is either 100 stitches x 250 rows (left) or 250 stitches x 100 rows (right).
Which one will you be doing? Will you be working from row 1 to 250, or will you be working from row 1 to 100?
If you're working as the example on the left, where row 1 starts at the bottom and goes to the top, that's called working vertically.
If you're working as the example on the right, where row 1 starts at the bottom and goes to the top, that's called working horizontally.
This is the cause of my confusion. If you say you're working horizontally, the example on the right is what I'm seeing. So if you're actually doing the left example, you're working vertically, and that's what we call portrait mode. If you're doing the right example, you're working horizontally, in landscape mode. Think about it as a picture on the wall. In most cases, the left would more likely be a portrait of a person, the right would more likely be a landscape, such as a sunset or a forest scene, where you want to see a wider view.
So, as long as you send the image in either like the example on the left, if you'll be working the rows that way, or if you send the image in like the example on the right, if you'll be working the rows that way, you'll be working the stitches correctly.
My guess is you're really doing what's on the left, but you're calling it horizontal, which is incorrect, as it's vertical. And if that's the case, as long as you sent your image in as a vertical image, then it's fine.
Update 2-29-16:
The hardware and operating software upgrades are now complete. These upgrades were necessary to allow us to expand as traffic increases. It also allows us to increase the security of data handling.
I'll be completing an upgrade of the email software in the next few days that will bring delivery up to around 98-99%.
Finally I can then get back to adding features to the freePatternWizard and several other areas of the website -- such as the Community, Circles, Stash, and Multimedia.
Today (2-24) we're building up the new hardware and installing upgraded versions of all the system software. This will result in faster processing and allow future expansion as needed. At this point I plan to get the websites transferred over Thursday, 2-25. I expect testing to be finished on Friday 2-26 and hopefully do the official data transfer and bring the new hardware live on Friday (2-26) or Saturday (2-27).
As we bring everything live, I will need to turn off all the websites for a brief period of time (best case scenario is about 5 minutes but hopefully less than an hour). This will prevent duplicate member numbers and other potential problems. During the down time, you will see a page explaining what we're doing.
