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.

I started just knitting something small that my partner helped me to get started. I suspect that it will end up being a scarf. It is about 14" wide, and I will figure out how long, after I run out of wool.
Hello, I have a problem.
By the production of Peyote pattern not all symbols are indicated.
Here an example.
Is it possible for me to be upgraded to be allowed to make a pattern using 300 stitches? Currently I'm only allowed the 150.
Thank you,
Crystal
Hi, Sharon.
I temporarily had to hold off finishing the pattern for Portia but am back to it now.
Her image is a black and white photo of two people. Since the original was apparently a .jpg, it was saved somewhat compressed. This compression introduces noise and stray colors. This noise is by far the most common cause of stray stitches of many different colors. So even though the original image was black and white, it actually contains 256 different colors — some shades of gray, and even blues.
The PatternWizard is sensitive to all these various colors and many will show up in the final pattern.
SO, the first thing I did was run the image through Photoshop and had it turn it into a true black and white. So there were then only black, white, and shades of gray. Then I told the program to use only certain colors from the palette (Section 5 "I will choose my colors"), checked the "Antialias On" box in section 8 (which helps smooth out lines), and varied the brightness and contrast a little.
I was able to get several usable charts from this. The only thing I have yet to do is resize it all into a usable chart for what she's wanting to stitch.
I'll hopefully have more information this weekend as we generate the final output. I'll post again when we're done.

Melanie,
Picture of the florating clocks foam base:
I actually got the clock in a hardware store thing.. They have all sorts of stuff in there.. It is a great store..
I love your idea about the 'porch' diningroom; I bet it is going to look fantastic.. I don't know how your house looks from the inside, but I don't think I would put a door between the new dining room and the rest of the house.. I would do double french doors, or leave out the doors.. But maybe it is practical with a door, or maybe we do stuff weird here in DK. :p We loooooove the whole open concept stuff in houses.. :p
I laughed a bit when he came home with knitting needles with a wire between.. I asked him why he didn't ask for help at the store and he said: "They were busy - I didn't want to disturb"
Mine is better with books too - at least there is a title ON the book..
