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!

Sandy,
Welcome!
So happy to hear you like
the freePatternWizard.
I'm sorry to say that the only option for the pattern on-screen is in color. You would have to use the PDF output for symbols. I know it can be a bit much to print out all of the pages...though we've been talking about future options to resize PDF pages.
If you'd like to post photos of your work sometime (whether or not it was created with the freePatternWizard), please feel free, so we can all drool!
Line,
Oh, hon, how awful!
I can completely understand
why you wouldn't want your kids to be exposed to her
craziness.
Are you being pushed to accept and support her position? It sounds absolutely, horribly wrong if that's the case. Can you refuse to participate? Not go to visit on Saturday?
IMO, whatever you want to do is the right thing to do. It sounds like a chaotic, toxic environment, and you have every right to choose not to get involved.
Vent anytime.
People can be cruel and
thoughtless, and the idea of someone like that, family or not,
expecting to be welcomed into your life is
crazy. Nothing says you must
welcome her or accept her bad behavior. Nor do you have
to believe her if she claims to have changed. People can
change, but in my experience it's rare, so if your gut is saying
she hasn't changed while she's claiming to have changed, I'd say
listen to your gut!
Your stepfather has no right to expect you to accept your mother back again. If he wants to accept her himself, that's his problem. People can spend years loving the wrong person, and that still doesn't mean you have to get caught up in the drama, too.
I really dislike people who insist you have to go against your feelings "because it's your family." Family is not perfect. It's being a good parent not to want your kids to get messed up by your mother's lifestyle. They're young and impressionable...she's irresponsible.
I'm so sorry you have to deal with this on top of everything, especially after a very stressful move.
Glad you can take your mind off of the drama with school. Don't let them catch you up
in their bad choices; IMO, you should do your best and put yourself
and your family first.
Sending lots of good thoughts that things work out the best way for you.

Hasina,
Ah, autocorrect! So much
fun...not!
If you're talking about a pattern
you've created with the freePatternWizard, unless it's something
different (like Tunisian), yes, it would be single crochet. The
only reason we don't specifically call it that is because in some
countries (such as England), single crochet is called double
crochet, lol. Nice and confusing.
Oh Raven, have no idea when I will get to that one. I
currently have 4 more graphgan wips, plus I just found out last
week that 2 relatives are expecting. That means 2 baby blankets,
for sure.
Good thing I'm retired. Vikings is one of the shows I watch
while I crochet. There just aren't enough shows like
that.
