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.

hi im redd. ive been crocheting since i was 10. i make adult clothing blankets an more here to learn more then what i already do and make new friends along the way
Thank you! I had seen Kreinik mentioned as an alternative. Will definitely check it out. The thing is I have no idea what its supposed to look like, the original floss that is. Was hoping someone would be able to give me an idea.
can crochet beaded ornaments be done on stitch wizard? If so, how is it done?

Karen,
Welcome!

Wow, that sure is a small town!
I'm not familiar with Crochet Parfait; I see that they have a Facebook group where they provide their graphs, but unless one has joined you can't see their graphs!
Offhand I wouldn't think it would be a good idea to upload graphs that have already been made to the freePatternWizard; my guess is that it would make the images less legible and introduce strange interference, for instance, where the graph lines are.

It's a little more complex to determine size, but not impossible by any means!
First, it's imperative that you make a gauge swatch (two in this case). I know, these are a necessary evil and nobody likes to do them (well, almost nobody!
), but that's the best way of knowing what your
finished size will be. Unfortunately, nobody will be able to do
that except you...your gauge depends on your chosen yarns, hook and
tension, the tension being the thing unique to you! 
Again, you would make two swatches, one of single crochet only and one of the corner to corner. Then you can measure and work out the math to know how many single crochet stitches to one inch.
For the c2c it's a little more complicated. I think this video explains it best, giving the math she used for her own gauge (which will very likely be different than yours):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QaDsCiHsPQ
Notice at about 1:08 in the video is where her calculations are. For her own gauge, she measured 6 "clusters" to 4 inches in her particular yarn, hook size and tension.
The washcloth she wanted to make was 30 x 30 clusters.
30 / 6 = 5, which is 5 sets of clusters of 6.
5 (sets of clusters) x 4 (inches) = 20 inches, so the 30 x 30 project will be 20 inches wide.
This is the only way to determine finished size, unfortunately, short of actually crocheting the entire thing, then measuring the finished piece!
Hope that helps!
