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!
Thank you. Will do.
I posted one FREE soap making how-to book for Kindle for today...if you're interested, please grab it before it's 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 "how to" ebook 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 a how-to book kind of difficult to read.)

Hi again, Janice... and THANKS for your continued questions! These help me move priorities around in my to-do (WIP) list, and like this case, sometimes add a new item to my list.
There are several variables involved with this issue and you can do me a favor by giving me some additional input that will help me decide how to fix it.
I did include an auto-restore in the program, so if you're using manual color selection, creating patterns on the screen, and want to go back and adjust your selections, it will bring up the previous manually selected colors as long as you click on the "Change Setting" button.
But this only works when you're creating patterns on the screen.
If you're creating pdfs, it's a different story and, like I say, there are additional variables. There are ways for me to address this issue, and with some computer/browser pairs, it isn't even an issue. For example, if I use a desktop or laptop with Firefox and manually select colors, then create a pdf pattern, I can simply close the pdf pattern on the screen and the original freePatternWizard page is still there. I can then make any changes I want (including checking new colors and unchecking existing checked colors) and resubmit the page to see another pdf.
But as you get into mobile devices, there are more things that can go wrong. Like I say, I can start addressing these when I know more combinations that have problems.
So if you can please let me know the device you're using to access the freePatternWizard (i.e. iPad, iPhone, desktop...), and what browser you have (i.e. Chrome, Firefox, Safari...), I'll start doing my homework and plan on adding a feature that helps with this.
Thanks for the input!

Melanie,
I took those hook measurements straight from the packages, I'm assuming that it refers to the "working shaft" of the hook since that's where we get the size of loop we make. Though I could certainly measure it myself with my gem calipers, I think I will just to be certain, lol.
It occurred to me last night that there is a missing component in those calculations.
If an I hook swatch has the same number of st as an L hook, but the L hook swatch is exponentially larger, just figuring out the yarn usage doesn't answer the question as to whether using the larger hook would result in less overall yarn usage, hope that made sense.
To get a complete picture of that, I have to make the I swatch to the same dimensions as the L swatch, then compare those calculations straight across. Doesn't that sound dull?
Funny thing is, that in my mind it serves a higher purpose, (knowledge gained) and that makes it interesting enough to be worth the doing.
We had a great time yesterday, taught her to make bread dough and then we filled the rolls with seasoned ground beef, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and cheese.
She's 1 1/2 weeks from her due date and ready for the baby to come, but fine otherwise.
Just all part of the process.
