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.

Healdy,
Welcome! Smile
What a lovely thing to make for someone! Kiss No doubt it will be cherished and appreciated.
The size of your pattern is dependent on several factors, such as yarn type, hook size, and gauge.
My suggestion would be to look for a bulky or super bulky yarn, perhaps something like a very sturdy rug yarn, which will hold up to the wear and tear of being trampled on the floor year round. Your hook should be suitable for the yarn you choose, and with a bulky or super bulky yarn, you'll want to use a large hook.
Once you decide on your yarn and hook, the next step would be to crochet a swatch, to determine your gauge. Depending on your gauge, it may be very possible to make something that fits within the free parameters here; matter of fact, if your yarn/hook/gauge are large enough, something in the Premier area like 300 or 500 stitches will likely be way too large, as just a few stitches will go a very long way!
The one drawback is a very bulky yarn may not have as many color choices available, though if you pick a simpler pattern, that likely won't matter.


Memah,

You're so welcome! Enjoy!

I am attempting to contact switchboard with a very important message and it will not go through. What do I do now?

Hi,

I've been reading through this thread and I am interested in what the outcome was for Portia. Were you able to come to a satisfactory answer for your pattern? I've been having a similar issue with my first time attempt at making a pattern from a photo, although mine is colour, not black and white.

I'm not asking for assistance (yet!), I'd just like to know if someone else who has a similar issue has got the solution, so that I know it will indeed work.

Congratulations on what seems to be an extremely powerful piece of software, and thank you for making it available for free.

Kind Regards,

Sharon
