New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

Oh my gosh! That is crazy! It must take forever! I would go insane. I use the loop method sometimes, I think it is very handy. Sometimes, with uneven stitches, I use the needle to rearrange them and make them less lumpy, but only when it is neccessary. I doubt I could tell the difference between a piece with the tool and without. No one looks close enough to be able to tell that the fibers are not "facing" in the same direction. Best of luck with those loose ends.
Hi Melaine,
I thinik I correctly did what you mentioned above, but it has changed the letters into sysmbols and colour coded it, but what I was after was converting a written crochet pattern into a graph with the crochet symbols, does the freePatternWizard do this?
Thank you
Galia
Thanks...knowing you're working portrait clarifies things a lot!
The main thing to be concerned about is sending your image through the correct way. With single crochet, as long as you've sent your image through portrait-wise, not landscape-wise, you'r stitches won't be skewed (remember, single crochet stitches are wide and short).
It really depends on how other people want to work their patterns. Usually, an afghan is worked bottom to top (e.g., portrait) because when you see it on a bed it's usually looked at from the foot of the bed, not the side. I'm not sure what else you'd want to do besides what you're already doing.
Sorry if I'm not understanding!
Welcome!
So glad you have crochet to do all the time, and how cool that it comes in so handy to keep the kids from getting upset with you for yelling too loud!
Graphs...I can sometimes lose my place. With crochet symbols, I much prefer to have them all written out.
Are you going to design your own bag? I started designing one a
while ago and plan to get back to it once I can find my
notes!
I think your pattern looks perfect just the way it is! IMO, your daughter's name should stand out. I don't think anything looks
out of proportion at all.
Debbie,
I really don't know any designers who are rich...I'm sure the few exceptions are out there, but I don't know any personally! Most are like you...they're trying to eke by, doing what they love. The arts are a cruel industry. Every once in a while I hear a success story and realize they're the exception to the rule.
I would have thought the festival would be making enough money from sales alone. Shame on them, trying to make fortunes off of struggling people!
I wouldn't publish their info
either, particularly not for free. Let them pay someone a
large part of those fortunes they charge to put that up on their
site. Like they're going to do that.
