Can I do this?
August 23, 2018 at 8:42:25 PM

Hello,

I have a jpeg image I want to use on a pair of handwarmers. So, the image would be on the back of the hand when completed. I'm not sure if the Pattern Wizard does that. The handwarmers would be knit. The image may be to large to shrink to the amount of sts, I'm just not sure if this is possilbe or if I'm explaining it very well.

I tried the wizard but it just displayed a blank page.

Look at that smile! (Photo guaranteed unretouched)

Teaminstinct,

Welcome! Great name!

Any shrinking of an image is best done beforehand. Since the freePatternWizard isn't a graphics program, it won't understand taking a large image and shrinking it down. It's best to shrink your image with a graphics program, to where the number of pixels = the number of stitches you want. (You can't designate the number of rows at this time. This will be changed in the future, but originally we were afraid people would skew or truncate their patterns to get them to a certain height.) Once you've altered your image to the width and approximate height you want, that's when you'd want to upload it to the freePatternWizard.

Thank you, the name comes from a popular phone app game.

So the team instinct logo is something I wanted to add to a pair of handwarmers .
Looks like I'm going to have to figure it out another way.

I appreciate the help!!

Teaminstinct,

Sounds like a fun game!

You're so welcome! If it's a matter of not having a graphics program, I can suggest two powerful (free!) programs you can download for the PC.
