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.
To read a particular post, simply click on it!
Cali,
We've discussed this issue...thank you for letting us know!
Terry will check and correct those three colors
and is putting a priority on scanning through the entire palette to
see if he sees any other colors that need to be corrected.Tried several times. Error message says it's invalid image..
In doing a lot of testing and working on some new features, I've seen the page jumping around a lot when loading. This was due to the social network icons at the top of the page. Each one is actually a little window to the particular social networks' system so formatting on the page is slightly out of my control.
I just did a work-around that greatly reduced the effects they have on the actual PatternWizard page. Now when you load the page, they may move around a bit while they load, but at least they stay in the little "corral" in which I put them and no longer move the whole page around.
I'm not too worried about the way it is right now since we'll eventually be bringing a whole new look and the formatting will all change anyway, at which time we'll probably decide on a different look and format of the social network links anyway.
I hope to have another feature running in the next day or so. And then on to more free stuff!
Terry
Welcome!
If I'm understanding your question, you're working from a word pattern and not a chart, correct?
The freePatternWizard presents the rows right to left and then left to right for each alternate row. The turning chain is implied, as that's not technically part of the graph on which the words are based.
If you're having problems, I suggest starting with something small. Nothing says you have to start with a huge chart! I did this when I wanted to make crocheted beaded bangle bracelets. I had visions of all of the beautiful bracelets I'd create, but working with beads in addition to crochet was challenging. I went to large pony beads and made some practice pieces so I could get used to holding the both the beads and the thread.
In this case, I suggest a small, simple pattern, two or three colors, small enough to perhaps be a pillow or even smaller, for a pincushion. If you practice smaller, you'll find it's a lot easier to apply to something larger. It can be daunting to start with a huge pattern. This is especially true of when you're first starting out in crochet, where I would definitely not recommend starting with a large image for something as big as a graphghan.
