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.

Hi,
There are many variables so I'm not sure what's causing this.
For example, if your image is large and you're creating a small pattern, you'll lose a lot of stitches.
If you would like to post an image you're having problems with, I can make some suggestions. Or if you'd like to keep your image private, let me know and you could email a copy of your image and I'll take a look at it.
Also, please let me know what type of pattern you're creating (beading, crochet, etc.).

Hello All, I have crocheted for over 50 years and always need help along the way on some patterns. I hope this group will help me with some of the graphs that I have not tried yet.Maybe I will try them again. I am from B.C. Canada and enjoy meeting friends from around the globe.
I found some more colors that are incorrect. Delica Bead 279 actually looks like the pic of 297. 1004 is burgundy, not blue. 1756 is a violet purple, not a blue purple. I'm doing a pattern of an abstract painting, and these inconsistencies are making my finished project very different than the pattern pic. I'm getting ready to purchase more Delica beads for my next one and I want to get the colors right. This software is only good if it's an accurate representation of the colors. I found Fusion Beads Delica by number photos to be accurate for the color if that helps you check it out. I'd really appreciate help with this so I can order the best beads for the pattern. Thank you
Hi, what a great pattern!
I can completely understand your confusion! I don't know if this will help, but when encountering a difficult pattern like this one, I like to write out each confusing instruction (LOL, it helps to use a computer...I wouldn't do this by hand) and separate the more difficult parts from other parts, when possible, such as this:
Row 1 (right side): Ch 4 (counts as first dc and on additional ch here and throughout), dc in 4th ch from hook (increase made),
1/1 LC (1 over 1 Left Cross) = Skip next stitch, Fpdc around next st; working in front of Fpdc just made, Fpdc around the skipped stitch,
dc in next 2 sts,
3/3 RC (3 over 3 Right Cross) = Skip next 3 stitches, Fpdc around each of next 3 stitches; working behind the 3 Fpdc just made, Fpdc in each of the 3 skipped stitches,
Fpdc around each of next 3 dc, dc in next 2 sts,
[1/1 LC (1 over 1 Left Cross) = Skip next stitch, Fpdc around next st; working in front of Fpdc just made, Fpdc around the skipped stitch,
dc in next 2 sts] twice,
2/2 RC (2 over 2 Right Cross) = Skip next 2 stitches, Fpdc around each of next 2 stitches; working behind the 2 Fpdc just made, Fpdc in each of the 2 skipped stitches,
2/2 LC (2 over 2 Left Cross) = Skip next 2 stitches, Fpdc around each of next 2 stitches; working in front of the 2 Fpdc just made, Fpdc in each of the 2 skipped stitches,
[dc in next 2 sts,
1/1 LC (1 over 1 Left Cross) = Skip next stitch, Fpdc around next st; working in front of Fpdc just made, Fpdc around the skipped stitch] twice,
2 dc in last dc (top of turning ch), turn—43 sts.
I'm assuming here you're familiar with the Bpdc and Fpdc instructions, so that's not the issue, just the 1/1 and 2/2, etc, which would be soooooo confusing to me!
I should add there's no magic at all to what I did. I literally took the text from the PDF, pasted it to a word processor file, separated the more confusing instructions (while still keeping bracketed instructions together), used the expanded instructions from the PDF wherever the confusing ones appeared and also boldfaced the confusing instructions.
The other thing I'll say about something like this is most likely, once you know what you're doing, you'll ultimately not need the expanded instructions. But this is definitely the way I would do this, and I can see you'll have the same issue for the back, so I would do the same for the back. I know it's time consuming to do this...as I said, though, there's no magic. It's just a process of copying and pasting into a new document!
I did this once with a very difficult knitting pattern that was driving me totally nuts. Not having the pattern in PDF form (it was in a book), after frogging repeatedly I spent at least half an hour to an hour typing up instructions, checking them again and again, until I had all instructions in expanded form. Then and only then did it make sense! Otherwise, I would have given up.
Please let me know if this helps!
Hello everyone
My name is Sherry and I have been crocheting for awhile now. I love to look around the internet at all the beautiful projects that people do.
I recently seen and purchased the "Sunshine" pattern from Jody Pyott to make for one of my grand daughters for Christmas. I used to sing that song to her when she was a baby.
Anyway I have it almost finished
and I would like to incorporate her name into the blanket such as
this lady has done. (This is not mine) She has added a
name and the border which is adorable. 
But I have no idea really where to even start. I want to make sure it is centered properly and that it looks right.
I am hoping someone here can help me.
Thank you
Have a great day
Sherry
