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.

SweetReet,
Welcome! Smile
No worries, you're doing the right thing! A gauge swatch is critical when working with an item where you need specific measurements. Kiss
For the number of stitches across, you need to calculate based on how many inches across you want the project to be. Since your gauge is 5 sts per inch, let's say you were trying to make something 50 inches wide, so you'd multiply 5 x 50 = 250 stitches.
As for Aida stitch count, Aida is a type of evenweave cross stitch fabric and is of no consequence here. Smile
The main thing to remember is that in this version of the software, you can determine the width of the pattern, but not the length. That will be changed in a future version of the software. The reason we did that originally was because we were concerned people would skew or truncate their patterns if they gave measurements that were too long or short.
The other thing is that it's best to make your uploaded image the desired number of stitches across = number of pixels before uploading it to the freePatternWizard. Thus, if you want something that's 250 stitches wide, it's best if you upload an image that's 250 pixels wide. This way, the freePatternWizard doesn't have to "decide" which pixels to leave out of the finished pattern. If you're on a Windows machine and don't have a graphics program to do this, I can suggest two very established, powerful and entirely free programs that can help you.
Hope that helps and isn't confusing! Kiss


Sorry if there was any confusion hard to state what I mean. When I say of. The generated graph shows red where there should be blue, blue where there should be white. . And there are letters that have a different color border around the. And the border doesn'tshow.

Hi all.
I'm new here and a baby in the crochet worldSmile.
I live in Suriname. That's in South America. My main language is Dutch.
But i taught myself crochet in English through YouTube. 
I'm 37, married and have a son. 

Line,

How adorable that must be, to see Jamie pulling Marcus on his bike!  Kiss  Without a doubt, she's a sweetheart.  Kiss

Oh, no, they're using those carriages for dogs?!  Facepalm.  I'm guessing the reason they were developed for cats is because of the way cats behave...going by the way our girl behaved when we took her outside.  She walked a few steps.  Stopped.  Sat down.  Ate grass.  Sniffed the air.

This entire process repeated itself endlessly, until she was either ready to go in...or we were.  I was telling a woman's mom about it, because she wants to put her cat on a harness and walk her around the neighborhood.  I had to tell her to be careful, because she was picturing what we were...the kitty would enjoy a nice walk through the neighborhood, but that wasn't what happened, not even once.

Of course, it would be uncharacteristic for a dog to do that...they love to run and jump all over, and why shouldn't they be allowed to do that?!

I would say to price Fireline Crystal.  There may be a dealer who sells it in your area.  Of course, knowing the high prices you guys pay for everything Cry, it really could be expensive.  Cry  Not that it's what I would call "cheap" here, though guessing it might be a slightly better price here.

Unfortunately the cheaper fishing lines here are the ones that aren't at all suitable for beadweaving.  Cry

Hugs,
Melanie

haha i think that's wishful thinking though melanie on your part walking round with a cup of yogurt in your hand people would look at you as if you were strange but wait us crafters are very strange people :p
