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!
I'm new here, so I'm not sure if this is allowed - please delete if it isn't!!
I've just generated a pattern with the generator (so cool!) but I'm struggling with fair isle knitting. I'm trying to make a scarf in 3 colors but I'm getting a lot of bunching and can't get it all to lie flat. I feel like I'm most successful holding two colors continental and the third, less used color, in my right hand, but it's still happening. Hints? Good videos to watch? Help!!!
Laura,
Wow, you sure are devoted!
(And I would do exactly the
same!)Calculating yarn yardage is difficult because there are so many choices. LOL, not that choices are a bad thing, but it's hard to calculate when one person might be using a worsted weight yarn and another might be using a sport weight. Yarns even differ from manufacturer to manufacturer; one worsted weight yarn from one manufacturer may be thicker and another manufacturer's worsted may be thinner. In addition, everyone's gauge will likely be different, even with the same exact fiber, since some crochet loosely and some crochet tighter.
Trying a gauge swatch, if you haven't done one, may be the most helpful thing of all. You can then get exact yardages for your stitches based on the fiber you're using and your own personal stitch gauge.
Meanwhile, I'll discuss the issue with Terry and see if there's some way he can think of that such a feature could be added. It depends on whether or not there's a way to calculate for the different variations, so I don't know if it's at all possible. If it is, we'll add it to the list of features.
