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.
To read a particular post, simply click on it!
I wanted to convert what I believe to ne a cross stitch pattern of Chewbacca into a knitting chart. Is that possible in Stitchboard? If so, how would I go about it? TYIA
Welcome!
At this time the freePatternWizard doesn't have the ability to edit patterns, though this is a feature that is in development. In the meantime, you may want to choose a single color to represent several different symbols; for instance, if you have a letter A as a red and a letter B as a pink, you could choose one color that will be used for both A and B, rather than one color for each symbol. In this way you can eliminate several of the "single" stitches by working blocks of similar colors as only one color. Chances are that you'll probably never notice a difference, since you're likely more interested in focusing on your grandparents' faces and not your grandmother's dress!
Another alternative is to leave out the floral design on the dress entirely by making it one single color. Say your grandmother's dress is navy blue...you could make the entire thing navy blue and not bother with the floral pattern at all.
Debbie,
That sounds sooooo intriguing! I never thought of looming to make dishcloths...and I really like to make dishcloths! That's one of my favorite gifts to make, because people usually use sponges and are surprised to find the dishcloths work so much better...best of all, they don't deteriorate the way sponges do. I can't tell you how many times those stupid sponges had pieces that somehow gouged themselves out, even when they were still quite new, like a day or so later.
They're not particularly cheap, but
they're often cheaply made.It's so much fun to give a set of dishcloths...I usually make mine a bit smaller than most dishcloth patterns say to make them. I find that when something is 7-9 inches wide, it's too much to hold onto, so I end up putting soap on one spot and then the rest of the cloth is jsut kind of "there."
I think 5-6 inches is the perfect
size.One year, I made dishcloths for all of my husband's friends...well, they loved them. And the one guy told my husband, "They really work!" LOL, that was one of my favorite compliments!
True, the larger squares can be used for afghans. LOL, though that brings to mind a retired dishcloth, used as part of an afghan. Wouldn't that be bizarre? LOL.
Neave,
Ugh, I completely agree! Family really can be your worst enemy. That "sacred" family crap is so ridiculous! People completely forget about how vulnerable people are when it comes to family. Their guard is generally down and loving, positive feelings for family can lead to a mess.
