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.

Melanie,
Crab stitch sound a lot like what we are calling it in Denmark..
It's a very easy pattern, so it wont take me very long to translate.. I'll do it in my winter break.
Have a lot of time for it there..
I am actually making another hat right now..
It's very.. ribbed.. :p haha
Please don't judge my pants.. :p
This hat is made from an alpaca/lamb wool blend.. It's the softest yarn I have EVER touched... Even softer than my highland wool/silk blend..
It's made on an I hook..
I allready hate the pattern.. it's a tough start, but very easy when you get to the point where I am now... Made in only hdc, and fphdc stitches..
Melanie,
Well the backside looks like this:
I made the brim using back loops only.. And then reverse single crochet the last row to give it a different look.. I don't know what the stitch is called in english, but you go from left to right instead of right to left.. It gives the edge a really pretty look IMO.
I can try translating the pattern for you if you like?
Hugs from Denmark
Could i get an upgrade as well please?
Ouuu Ouuu call on me c all on me.. I have a question
.. I am doing square stitch and add two
beads at a time. Wonder if adding 3 maybe four has been
attempted? Results? I am soo lazy (snort) and hate
ripping out my work especially from square or peyote
stitches.Mary
Sherry,
Wow, how neat you've not only had the sight, but your kids have it, too!
Though it must have caused them
consternation at times when they were growing up...
I'm guessing the cones would be a similar price for you...I just got it at Walmart, nothing special.
We don't get out much
and I rarely get to Michael's, and only to JoAnn's these days to
get my ads scanned. Sadly, since they redid our Walmart,
the yarn choices have gone from bad to worse. The cotton
in particular has dwindled to almost nothing. It's fine
if I want black or brown, and I don't mind the black for me, since
it's a "go with everything" color, but I find for gifts it's not
very cheery and brown is such an individual thing...people either
love it or hate it. There is a nice fuchsia, but that's
the same idea as black or brown. The yellow seems to be
in short supply. There's a magenta that's not half bad,
and I can probably get away with it regardless, since it kind of
runs pinky-red and doesn't seem to offend like fuchsia. I
can't say I've seen any blues (other than yesterday's cone)...used
to be a navy blue, but maybe that's been out of stock every
time. There's an orange that I wouldn't bother with in
the first place, since that's an acquired taste. There's
an interesting brightly-colored variegated that's okay for gifts,
too. And of course, there's white, and maybe if I were
going to dye it or something, I'd use it, but white gets dirty much
too easily, so I generally steer clear of it!So now the only way to get blue seems to be the cones, and not much of that there, either.
I try to stick with blues when I don't
know someone's preferences (also, hubby picked out the variegated
blue cone when I offered him that or a pinky/purple/something else
variegated cone).The size 10 cotton is down to something like 2 colors. There's a nice purple green variegated and the other one I forget, but not something I like. I did need some of the purple green, so I got it.
Thanks for the helpful info on the size of the spa/dishcloths!
I'll shoot for 5 1/2 - 6", then, and
definitely 6" if I don't edge it at all. I don't know if
I'll be doing edging, since there is no choice other than white for
that, and there's already plenty of white in the variegated
cotton!I completely agree...gauge is definitely unimportant for a scarf, unless it's way too large or small, and I don't see how that would be the case with a worsted, which is what I'm guessing you're using. It's what I'd use, too. Like you said, sport weight is almost impossible to find, and it just doesn't seem to me that a scarf of thin sport weight would be as nice for winter wear as a worsted weight, anyway. Also, shouldn't a scarf be as functional as possible if it's for winter wear?
Oh, yes, true about shell edging to make a dishcloth bigger! Great idea...thanks for mentioning it...parked in the back of my mind!
