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.

Hi, and welcome!
In section 7 try turning the "color sensitivity" up to a higher number. This will begin combining colors and reduce the total number in a pattern.
You can also select "I will choose my colors" in section 5b and manually enter the colors you want. The program will then limit the pattern to only those colors.
You may also want to try turning on the "anti alias" in section 8.
There are other settings you can try but these are a few that may help.

Hi,
Here are a few ideas.
1. Try selecting 5c "Limit the number of colors" and set a number like 7.
2. Try setting section 8 "Color sensitivity" to a higher number. You may want to bring this number up to something like 100 or 200 and see what that does. The results vary by image so there's no magic number. If it's better, try a larger or smaller number and see if you like one better than another.
3. Choose section 5 "I will choose my colors" and select exact colors you'd like. This would allow you to define the number of colors and tell it to only choose the given ones.
4. Varying brightness and/or contrast will also vary the number of colors but this is not really their main use.
5. You can also try a combination of the above. (If you choose "I will choose my colors" in section 5, you will not be able to use 5c).
Let us know whether this helps.

Robin,
It's the tunisian simple stitch, aka afghan stitch. The back of all tunisian looks like that, some looks nice and neat like your sample, sometimes it's bulkier and doesn't quite look so nice. It depends on the thickness of your yarn, and the size hook you use.
I can get the same look with Deborah Norville Everyday and an 8 mm hook, however if I use a little bit thicker yarn, like Caron One Pound and the 8 mm, I get the bumpier look on the back.
Hope that helps
Hi all! Just found out about this site from a member of Crochet Helpers over on Facebook. I would like to spend ALL my time crafting, but, alas, am too cheap to even think of a housekeeper. I'm 57, my husband is retired (boy, is that a lifestyle change!), and we live out on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. We spent most of our married life in Georgia and Germany. We have 2 grown ups, Samantha and Scott, and 4 grandchildren, who are all too far away! Two spoiled dogs and one doted on cat!
I'm a lefty, knit to the "wrong" needle, and crochet in the wrong direction. It usually works out fine but I have to reverse some instructions.
I like to knit, crochet, and spin. I also sew and quilt. I'm excited to start machine knitting on a very old Studio 303 with ribber. That's a whole new world for me.
I've also done a lot of rug hooking with wool strips and like to play with dyes. Excited to try your pattern wizard and meet other craft junkies!
