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.

Chrisbst,
Welcome! Smile
It's a bit difficult when you need certain specific sizes, plus, we don't currently offer HDC patterns, only SC.
One solution might be to try C2C. It actually isn't difficult at all, and it goes soooo fast! There are many tutorials on YouTube that teach C2C. If you can HDC and DC you can definitely work C2C...the most difficult part I found as a newbie to C2C was trying to get the second block started correctly. But with a tutorial on YouTube or somewhere (so long ago, I can't remember!), it went like a breeze.
Another is to find an image to put through the freePatternWizard, but please note your finished pattern will be single crochet, not half double.
A very tedious option is to find if someone has a pattern like what you want, in half double crochet, though it may not match the size you want. That's simply a matter of searching, unfortunately, which may or may not give results.
I'm so sorry I don't have any better solutions for you! I've been there...same thing...proprietary image, pattern in a stitch I really, really didn't want to do, nothing to use to make the pattern to my specifications. Cry
One other idea, which is probably stupidly simple and not really what you're looking for, is to use Air Force colors, perhaps in stripes or maybe make a solid rectangle for the center, then pick up stitches and go around the edges, making larger borders in other colors, so you keep making it wider and longer until you've reached the desired size (or thereabouts) in different colors in your chosen colorway.
Hope that helps. Kiss


Hi Susan,

I'm always interested to know if any devices are having a problem with the program.  Over time I've added various setting combinations that seem to work one way or another with most devices.

Section 7 gives you options that you may need to simply experiment with to see which one(s) work with your device.  Try the "Show on Screen", "Download pattern", and "Email pattern to myself".  Hopefully one of these will work.

In section 7 you may also want to try setting the Output to either screen or .pdf.

Generally the first 3 choices I mentioned are there specifically for devices that only work one way or another.

Let me know if none of the combinations work and I'll be happy to look further into it.  I'm coming back to working on updates and would address this right away.

Terry

Line,

Let me know if you'd like some inspiration.  Kiss  Because I was thinking...maybe some stripes or a zigzag design with the white would really show it off.  Will think on it some more.  Kiss

Hope your inspiration returns soon.  Kiss

xpaganwitchx,

Hello there, and welcome.

I find it's best to limit the number of colors, although sometimes that just looks really bad. The simpler the image, the better, especially if you can choose your own colors (there is a selection for this).

The big problem is that there is no one company that makes all of those colors, and mixing yarns from different companies rarely works out well. Undecided So it's an excercise in frustration as well as being a bit overwhelming.

Line,

I can't wait to see!  Kiss

Oooh, so jealous!  Wool isn't easy to come by here.  We lost the only yarn shop in the area many, many years ago.  Now there are only craft stores, and they carry only a small amount of wool.

I'd love to see pics of your sweaters!  Kiss

So do the meds with therapy have a good success rate?

It really does sound like it may be the MacBook, though I'm not sure why!  Let me know how it works with Chrome.  Kiss  I alerted Terry yesterday in case there's something he can see on his end.

Hugs,
Melanie
