Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features.

When you create a pattern on the wizard is it double crochet or single crochet?
LOL, glad to hear it! My left always wants to do everything the opposite. I can write out words fairly comfortably with my left hand, as long as they're backwards.
Not very useful!
Line,
You're sooooooooooo right...relationship stuff is really awful.
I'm glad the kids aren't stressing about it. I hope you can find a way to tell them when the time comes, where they can still be okay with it and understand you guys can't be together.
It's completely understandable why you had to let the kids see your mother, even though there are very bad feelings between you two. I hope she doesn't revert back to her previous behavior and I also hope she'll treat you well, too. It's so hard dealing with parents. They're supposed to be smarter and wiser, but often that's not the case. And it's especially difficult to be with someone you know has done awful things, having to pretend they're the greatest. I'm sure you're doing a lot of
that for the sake of the kids.
Love the hat...it's gorgeous!
Love the stitch...it's got
such nice texture. And your colors are
fantastic!
Hmmm, you know, kind of a weird idea...can you pick up stitches on the inside of the hat, above the brim, and just do some basic single crochet in the round to line it? Then you could actually have two hats...the inner one and the outer one, just by turning it inside out. Now, part of that is my panic when it comes to sewing, LOL, but anyway, that's also why I'd probably start right after the brim - that brim is gorgeous! Is that back loop only or
front loop only double crochets? Really pretty.
And the yarn, too, has a pretty glow to it.
I'm so glad it's nice and warm!
You're so welcome......if you need anything, just let me
know! (Will be checking the mailbox
in a few minutes. )

Buggg66,
Welcome! 
What a cool
design!
The first
thought that occurred to me is the font is too thin to do more than
blob up, as you can see. What the freePatternWizard isn't (at the
moment) is an editor. It looks at anything made of basic thin lines
and doesn't really know what to do with it.
The font here is actually more suitable to backstitch,
which we don't offer at this time, though it's in our
plans.
The next thing is about your image.
What file format is it in? If it's in jpg, the format will have
shades of other colors in it and extraneous characters you can't
really see just by looking at it. This will confuse the
freePatternWizard, which will take the colors it sees and "report"
them as those other colors, as in different shades of red in this
case.
The best formats to use are gif and
png, because those don't introduce extraneous colors. But you can't
go from a saved jpg to a gif, because the colors are already there
in the file.
Next, are you sending an image
that is pixel-to-stitch, e.g., 50 pixels across = 50 stitches
across? Since the freePatternWizard isn't an actual editor, if you
don't send it an image like that first, it will do its best as it
tries to expand or contract the image, but the results won't be
great.
Finally, you also need to pay
attention to thin lines here, too. If your image is set (for
example) for 50 pixels as opposed to 200, a thinner line or smaller
dot may disappear, being too thin or small for the
freePatternWizard.
The good news is that
it's not at all impossible to work with such an image; mostly, you
need to be mindful of what's going on with the various things
mentioned above for a good result.
Hope that
helps!

Not very useful!Khark,
You're so welcome! I'm so
sorry we don't have a better answer...it's very discouraging when
people create beautiful patterns and there's no way of using them.
