New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

Line,
It sounds like using an excuse for extra time during an exam is, for you, probably not the best way of taking the exam. I can understand.
I actually think you're far
smarter to do it that way. I'd be tempted, too, to redo
everything if given more time...sigh, nothing worse than rethinking
all of the work, right?! So let others be
dishonest. Your plan is far better.
LOL! Isn't it always that computers generally pick the worst times to act up?!
I don't remember anymore if my hand was okay after that...I suspect it was, because it was a bit more normal back then to write and write by hand. LOL, try not to think about it, though, as it's pretty awful to contemplate.
Oh, right, is that superwash a life saver or what?! I can't imagine washing a bunch of sweaters by hand. I know people who love, love, love their non-superwash wool, and it's pretty, but that hand washing...argh! Is there anything about laundry that's worse than hand washing?
You know, I've heard people say that a wool setting really should not be used for wool on a machine. I wouldn't know, as our machine doesn't have a wool setting...it's an old machine, but we won't get rid of it unless it stops working. If we had a machine with the wool setting, I guess I'd try it on something unimportant first, like a square or whatever. I really don't think it's worth chancing otherwise. After making something beautiful like a hat or a sweater, can you imagine pulling a doll-sized hat or sweater out of the machine, because the wool setting didn't work?!
A cowl...got to admit, he's pretty smart! What's a hat without a
cowl?!
Completely understand. I've got certain, um, relatives that are "there," too.
Hugs!
Welcome!
So glad you found us! Feel free to post pictures of any work you've done, even if it wasn't created with the freePatternWizard...we love to drool!
Line,
I entirely agree...puppy mills are horrible.
Those poor dogs did
nothing wrong. People who
run puppy mills are scum! 
I'm so sorry school is already getting bad. Is it the schedule, the
courses, the workload, something else...?
Sending good thoughts your way that things will get better soon.
I want to say a HUGE thank you for your hard work on this amazing site! I stumbled upon it while searching for knitting charts and fell quickly in love. I am no means a designer and have a flat head from banging it on the wall in frustration. With Stitchboard, I can upload an image and wham, a pattern!!!!! I can never thank you enough and even more for keeping it free. You rock!!!!
Marcie,
I'm sorry to say we've had the same problem, too...one of the reasons we created the Free Pattern Wizard is to allow us to do what other programs don't! There is a solution that may tide you over until we have the capability you're looking for, though I have to admit, it's somewhat inelegant. (I use this myself when I don't have a specific image but simply want to create a pattern from my imagination.)
What I do is send a blank (white) image through the Free Pattern Wizard and then save it as a GIF. You can then import the GIF into a graphics program. If you don't have one, there are several free programs out there, one of which is called Gimp. I use an ancient version of a program called Paint Shop Pro for this purpose. (Paint Shop Pro is not a free program, and compared to the version I have, the current one is no doubt quite complex and likely beyond my comprehension!)
Without getting too specific (which would be entirely unhelpful, as my version of PSP would be completely different than, say, a program like Gimp), what I do is open the image of the graph, then use various colors to paint the image that I want onto the graph image, within the black outlines. It can be painstaking, but it's really the only way I've found to work, not from an image, but from a picture in my mind. So this is why I also have a
vested interest in having a version of the Free Pattern Wizard that
allows me to do this.
