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.

Nicky,
Welcome! Smile We're so glad you like the freePatternWizard!
Figuring the number of skeins will be different depending on how many strands you're using and what size cloth. The number of skeins could be quite different if you're using 3 strands on 11 count Aida as opposed to 1 strand on 24 count congress cloth.
I don't have a perfect answer for you, but if you want to figure out an approximation for each color (since you do get the data showing the number of stitches in each color), here's the best link I've found for figuring the numbers:

If there's a calculator out there that you think is better, please do let us know! Smile


Thanks Melanie for the advice you gave twintrza.... I have my yarn now and am chomping at the bit to start my first graphgan...but thought I ought to look into the whole process a bit first. Glad I did. I would have been cutting and joining colours an gazillion times, but now know to make myself some bobbins with yarn etc. I will take the above nugget of advice and do a simple practice graphgan to get my head around the process. Like I said the other day in the comments to my question...don't hold your breath waiting Hhahaha!Laughing

Hi and welcome. I am just north of you in Indiana. I thin you picked a great community to get back into crocheting. Looking forward to seeing your work. I am sure it will be great.

Any idea when the c2c written will be available?

That's fine...have other things to do myself at the moment.  Dealing with this horrible freezing weather is one!  Have a good weekend!
