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!

I assumed I would be able to get written step by step instruction as with any other crochet pattern.

Welcome! 
Easy Read is
only available for patterns on the screen. If you're sending your
files to a PDF, Easy Read isn't available.
Jessica,
LOL, nah, you can't keep
crafters under wraps! 
Can't wait to
see what you're making when it's done! 
What is it that you're currently
working on?
What is it that you're currently
working on?I have a lot of WIPs...the good
news is I'll have to live to be well over 500 to accomplish all of
them. I am a miracle of science waiting to
happen!

I'm not sure you'll be
able to work as small as you need to for a pen wrap, unfortunately.
The freePatternWizard is best used when you give it an image that
is the same number of pixels as you'll need for number of beads
(stitches).
In other words if you wanted a
pattern that was, say, 20 beads across you'd give the
freePatternWizard an image that was 20 pixels across, then give it
20 stitches across in option #6. (At this time the horizontal
measurement is the only one you can give to the freePatternWizard.
This will eventually change, but for now it's not possible to
override the computer figuring the vertical measurement for
you.)
It's best to work all patterns like
that with the freePatternWizard. With text, the problem is that if
you have an image that is larger and you're trying to make it
smaller (or smaller and you're trying to make it larger), it will
only distort and give you things like missing text. Text is
especially difficult because unless you're going pixel to bead it
usually has thin lines that will either be represented in the
pattern by thick areas or they'll disappear altogether. The best
solution for that is to give it an image that already has the
dimensions you want, so if you wanted a pattern that was 50 beads
by 50 rows, you'd give it an image that's 50x50. Again, the
vertical on that can't be guaranteed, but for the horizontal,
pixels to stitches will work best.
I assumed I would be able to get written step by step instruction as with any other crochet pattern.
