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.

MStanley,
Welcome! Smile
At this time we support only certain stitches such as single crochet, Tunisian and filet crochet. In the future we'll be adding other stitches. In the meantime, the problem with single crochet to half double crochet would make it a very different size of stitch. Depending on your gauge, you could end up with a very distorted piece. It's not the width of the stitches that's the problem...it's the height. While your stitch width would likely remain the same (unless you were to switch to a different yarn or hook than what you've been using), the height of your stitch will be more elongated, as a half double crochet is taller than a single crochet. I don't remember offhand, but I want to say a half double for me is about 1 1/2 times the height of a single crochet. It's not a lot, but it's just enough to throw it off.
With more elongated stitches, your graph for a single crochet will end up with fewer rows per inch, meaning your entire piece will be elongated. If you're working with something that isn't critical to remaining true to how long the stitches are, you'll be okay, but in most cases, I'd say your finished item will be longer than anticipated and the longer stitches may look wonky.
I wish there were more of a direct correlation, but while the width of the different stitches are usually the same, the height is usually different. Frown


Hi, from Ohio

I posted two FREE soap making books for Kindle for today...grab them before they're gone!  (Note: you do not need to have an actual Kindle.  If you have a smartphone, you can download a Kindle reader app for FREE...if all you have is a PC, you can download to your PC...and I believe there may also be a way now of completely bypassing any kind of reader app to read directly online - though please don't quote me on that, as I'm not sure.  I find the PC reader to be quite decent for pattern content...since I don't own a Kindle, I can't say how well it works...but I would think a smaller screen would make patterns kind of difficult to read.)

Becky,


Wow, we like to complain about the inconsistency in how these "standards" are applied,
but it sounds like it may be worse for you. Frown

If the yarn you are using is in the medium size range, then a P hook (10mm) would give you almost square stitches.

If it's on the thinner side, I'll have to check my notes.
