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.

Amandy,
You're so very welcome! Kiss
We're always discussing topics like these and are always working on implementing new features. Adding more word patterns has always been on our list, though I'm sorry to say there's no particular time frame for it so far.


Sherry,
Honestly, I ALWAYS have trouble pricing anything. Embarassed I hate to charge an amount that someone would consider "too much"...but I also don't want to feel like I got cheated! Pricing is THE most difficult thing to do. Cry
Long before I knew anything about selling handmade items (this was my first experience with selling handmade EVER), I agreed to make some ribbon roses for someone. It took sooooo long and I didn't make all that much. But it wasn't the guy's fault...he paid me what we'd agreed on. It was just that I didn't want to overcharge him and ended up way undercharging. Cry
If you don't want to use a formula, as I said in another post, perhaps looking around at similar things that other people have made will give you a ballpark idea of what to charge. Kiss
You're NOT in it alone! Kiss


Welcome! Smile

When you go to make your pattern, please use "standard stitch," which is the standard single crochet. (We do have double crochet in our plans, but don't have it available at this time.) The word chart you're describing is for Tunisian crochet, as that is the only type with a "return" for each row. With standard single crochet, you go from side to side, flipping your piece so you (in effect) go right to left and left to right on alternate rows, even though you technically work in the same direction for each row (flipping it is what changes the direction). With Tunisian crochet you use a special type of hook and you go from right to left and then without flipping the work, you work off the entire row of loops from left to right.

If you make a word pattern in Tunisian crochet when you only want single crochet (e.g., standard), you'll be very disappointed in the results, because it won't match what you're doing.

Welcome!  Smile

My apologies...I can be a bit dense sometimes, LOL.  I'm not quite sure what you're asking.  The stitches in a graphghan pattern bump up against each other and you work as in normal crochet, e.g., right to left, then left to right.  Unless you're working Tunisian, and then depending on whether you're right handed or left handed, you'll work right to left for every row or left to right.

I just thought of what you might be talking about.  If you're inquiring about whether or not to bump the pattern chart squares up against each other or letting them be spaced a bit when you're creating the pattern, that's a matter of personal choice...there's no right or wrong.  Smile

Hope that helps!  Smile

Portia,

Welcome!  Smile

You actually can't click on the "learn" button utsekf...what you have to do is mouse over it and you'll get a clickable option immediately below the button that says "multimedia."  Once you click on that, it will bring you to a page where you can search for videos, such as "crochet" (without the quotes).  Smile
