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!

Has anyone made a pattern for C2C style crochet on this site? And could I please know the secret? TIA
Hi,
I've been reading through this thread and I am interested in what the outcome was for Portia. Were you able to come to a satisfactory answer for your pattern? I've been having a similar issue with my first time attempt at making a pattern from a photo, although mine is colour, not black and white.
I'm not asking for assistance (yet!), I'd just like to know if someone else who has a similar issue has got the solution, so that I know it will indeed work.
Congratulations on what seems to be an extremely powerful piece of software, and thank you for making it available for free.
Kind Regards,
Sharon
Just a quick little update:
Thanks to some good input on the illusion knitting feature, I just updated the program so it now gives you a graph and word chart by default instead of just a graph.
Let us know what other enhancements you'd like to see in the illusion area!
Terry
Lilio,
You've been upgraded!
Lisa,
Goodness, I can completely understand how hard it is to count and write patterns by hand!
I did that
pre-computers...ouch, you're not kidding about eyestrain!
As for your questions:
1) You've been upgraded!
2) Please let me know if I'm understanding your question correctly. You've taken a png of the
output of a stitching program - an already-created graph - and used
that as a basis for creating a pattern? If that's
correct, the answer is actually simpler than that...all you need to
do is take your original image and run that through the
freePatternWizard. That will get you the most optimal
result. In other words, this lets
the program do the work for you, rather than using another program
first to do the work. Now, you'll still likely have to
experiment a bit to figure out the length of your pattern (you can
only enter a width, because if you were to designate a length, too,
it would skew your pattern), but that can be done in a graphics
program by adding borders.
We do have plans to add some editing functions, which may or may not help with what you're doing, but those are not available at this time.
Hope that helps! Let me know how sending the
original image through works for you...it may even work out that
you don't need to add borders, but that depends on your image and
isn't something I can really say.
