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.

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.

Years ago, I did a cheetah on black and absolutly love it....my poor old eyes just aren't the same anymore.  Thank you for the suggestions.  I'm going to try very hard not to give up the ship on this one, but it's certainly not going to be easy.

Dave,
Welcome! Smile
What you're essentially is talking about is two plies of thread, doubled, which means you're using 4 ply. Smile
It's essentially the same as taking your floss and cutting it to whatever length for stitching, then stripping 4 plies of the six and threading them through your needle.
Though please...I hope you're using knots for the sake of your example and you won't actually be using knots in your work? SurprisedWink


Thanks for allowing me to join the group. I am in need of finding someone who makes counted cross stitch graphs from photographs. I have stitched our three children and three of our grandchildren,  have three more grands that I wouild love to be able to stitch. However, where I was getting my graphs has gone out of business. I am hoping to find someone who still does this service. Thanks for any help anyone may have to offer. I live in North Carolina.

Melanie,

Yes, they use them for dogs..
I can't stop commenting on it when I see it.. I usually say something like this, and very loud: "Oh no.. Look at the poor puppe, it doesn't have any legs, maybe it should just have been put down, if it is not able to walk"... People actually gets embarrased... But what do I care, it's a dog for crying out loud.. It was made for walking on it's four paws.. :p

I can't help myself when attending a dog show either, and I see these girls walking around with their small chihuahuas in their arms.. I can understand it if there are a LOT of people, simply out of security for the dog (why do people not pay attention to where they are walking?).. But seriously.. There's no need for carrying the dog around an intire day.. 

Once I saw a girl walking around with her dog on the beach... There were no people, but still she was walking around with the small dog in her arms.. *facepalm*

Hahaha.. At another show, I was actually asked to leave the ringside with Jamie from one of the contestants.. The reason: Her chihuahua was afraid of big dogs, and would not go completely out to the corners of the ring.. I was in shock.. A show dog that could not be distracted from the other dogs.. I was supposed to go in the ring next, so I wouldn't leave... 
She kept coming over asking me to go away from the ring with my big agressive dog..
I told her that if she wanted a show dog, who would not have to be PULLED around in the ring but actually walking by it self, she might want to rethink the whole socializing with big dogs issue before harressing another participant in the show, who merely was standing by to go in the ring... And that she maybe might wanna reconsider calling my dog agressive when whe was laying on the floor sleeping..

The people who was there watching the show laughed so hard that the girl whit the chihuahua decided to leave, all red in the face..  What an ass.. -.-'

Calling my sleeping dog agressive.. I see.. I don't think she have ever seen an agressive dog..

When I asked one of her friends who was also in the ring, and who happened to be one of my close friends what that was all about she said: "Well.. xxx has never socialised the puppy with big dogs, she have never even seen a big dog before.."

So I took Jamie, went in the ring, won, went over to the girl and asked her if she would like me to help her socialize her pup with big dogs.. She didn't want to, right untill I pulled my own chihuahua from the hat (I had one at that time, but she unfortunately had her ass kicked by my cats... :p so I had to give her back to the breeder).. She then saw that Jamie did absolutely nothing, she just lay there wacthing the cupe puppy who was sitting in its owners arms..

Next time at the show, I was standing at the ring side again, and the little chihuahua pup won the entire show in it's class.. All because it wasn't afraid of the big dog laying there on the ring side watching Wink

Anyhow.. The point to the whole story is that I can't refrain from speaking up when seeing girls carrying their small dogs on the arm because it is "afraid" of big dogs, people, what ever..
And I really do not get the stroller for dogs.. *facepalm* 


Too bad about the fishing lines. I do not do beading - I was just very curious.. (I'm the human worlds Curious George)..

Neave,

LOL, I keep thinking that's the answer!  Laughing  I always tell my husband he's an alien from outer space.  If I ever catch him wearing a tinfoil hat, that will be incontrovertible proof!  Wink
