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.

Karla,
Welcome! Smile
Technically, if you were to send your image in flipped 90 degrees, I would think this would do the trick. In theory, you would have your stitches starting at the left or right side, depending on which way you flipped the image, and then you'd be working in rows to the other side. Thus, instead of working bottom to top, then left to right and right to left, you'd be working side to side, bottom to top and top to bottom. Also, in theory, the stitches would be facing the correct way, where the "horizontal" stitches are actually going left side to right side or right side to left side.
(This is also assuming you're working in crochet, making a word pattern and not a graph.)


We're continuing to add new options and features.  At some point I'll turn on a whole new look and feel to the program but for now we'll continue to enhance the current package.

For those subscribed to the Private Label (Custom) pdf Premier feature (and those subscribed to all features), I just added the ability to minimize the big red Private Label box.

There are multiple settings that you can select through the "Preferences" tab near the top left of the page.



Click on this tab and at the right of the popup box you'll see:



Note that only those who have subscribed to this option or to "all features" will see this box.

Your options are as follows:

"Always Show" - When selected, the big red Private Label box will always show when you're working on the page.

"Always Minimize" - When selected, the big red box will be minimized to a single line, with a green plus sign (+).  When you click on the plus sign, the red box will open and a red minus sign (-) will then be at the top right of the box.  When you click on the red minus sign, the box will close back down to a single line.  The minimized single line looks like this:


"Remember Previous Setting" - When selected, the program remembers your last setting of the big red Private Label box.  If you are working and open the box using the green plus, then reload the page, or even come back tomorrow, the red box will still be open.  Then if you click on the red minus sign and close the box, reload the page, or come back tomorrow, the big red box will be closed unless you re-open it.

I usually set it at the "Remember Previous Setting".  I normally don't want all that space taken up showing the red box.  But if I'm doing some work where I need to make some changes or fine tuning of how I want the pdf to look, I open the box.  Then as I work and change pages, etc., the box stays open.  Then when I'm done, I reclose it and future use of the program just has the single red line.

Remember to click on the "Save Settings" button after making your choice in the Preferences tab.

Hope this feature helps.

In my beta-tester post, I put up a free bonus offer for anyone who could find the mistake in one of the patterns in my store at https://stitchemknot.com/store  The prize is for any pattern in the store of your choosing.  I should be adding more patterns before the end of the week, so you may want to check it periodically.

Please note this bonus is open to everyone; you do not have to be a beta tester or proof reader. 

I have now fixed the pattern, however, I will not replace it until the end of this month, February 29, 2016.  I will put up the corrected pattern March 1, 2016. 

I will post here, and in the beta-tester thread should someone win this free bonus.

Should anyone purchase the pattern that is in error, I will send them the corrected one. 

Thank you for your time!

Line,

Hahahahahahaha, you're right!  Laughing  Perfect yarn humor!  Laughing

I don't really have a great way to wash wool at the moment, other than by hand.  Frown  As much as I dislike the old machine, it's here to stay until it craps out.  Now, sometime in the (hopefully near) future, I know we'll have a nice pull-out faucet for the basement sink, but we bought it sans a faucet, as it was cheaper to buy the things piecemeal, and we didn't need a faucet at the time.  Once there's a faucet, that will be where I hand wash whatever needs to be hand washed, sweaters or whatever, but I'd also like to try dyeing yarns.  I took a dyeing class years ago and really enjoyed it!  Back then I was looking at dyeing cotton for cross stitch, but now I'm thinking about other fibers, as well.  Smile

Have you ever thought about dyeing yarns to get your own custom colors, or do you feel you have enough selection available that it's more trouble than it's worth?

Dyeing yarns is appealing at the moment because our area is a complete yarn desert.  Frown  Nothing around for miles.  When we used to have a yarn store nearby, it was so much easier to simply try to find something that worked.

Hugs,
Melanie

that takes the piss the way people blow money on useless things that only give them temporary enjoyment in an ideal and perfect no family would ever be in poverty and have to sacrifice between heating and lighting and food the table but the world is not ideal or perfect and it's sad
