Hi, All
First, for anyone having any problems bringing up the freePatternWizard pattern creation software by using the top drop-down menu, feel free to Take This Link
Our showcase has been updated. If you've previously uploaded a showcase in the past, please check to see if it's been posted; meanwhile, if you want to submit one (or another one, if you've already posted before), feel free to do so!
Also note we now have an additional (optional) assembly page for the freePatternWizard. This is for larger pieces that have multiple pages. Much smaller patterns won't need this.
To freePatternWizard paid Premium subscribers having problems logging in:
If you're logged into your Stitchboard account (shows "Hi, name" in the upper right corner of each page), you can ignore the rest of this message.
If you're not logged into your Stitchboard account and you are a freePatternWizard paid Premium subscriber, please take this link one time to verify your subscription(s). It will also ask you to change your password. Again, you only need to do this once.
If you are not a paid Premium subscriber and are having problems logging in, try logging into the Stitchboard website. If you see an "Invalid login username or password" message, you may need to re-register at this link or by clicking the "Register" link at the top of the page. If you try re-registering and get a "duplicate email address" message, you'll need to go through the "password change" function by using this link.
To read a particular post, simply click on it!
Thanks for your reply I will certainly bear that in mind.
So is this where the Wizard comes in for making a graph still slowly understanding it.
Or!! I could do it as beaded cross stitch couldn't I ?
Stacy,
Welcome!
Have you tried using a graphics program to lighten your images? If you're using Windows and need a graphics program, I know of two very powerful free ones that are available for download online which can help.
As for the maximum number of stitches, actually, that number is 500 stitches across; however, when you go to either 300 or 500 stitches, you're then talking about our Premier features, for which we have very nominal fees. The 300 stitch option carries an introductory price of $2.99 for a full year, and the 500 stitch option carries an introductory price of $4.99 for a full year. If you pay for the 500 stitch option, the 300 stitch option is also included, so there's no extra charge for both. You can see more information about our Premier features here:
/pages/pattern/subscribe.php
If you're still interested in working at only 150 stitches across there's only one way to calculate how large your finished item will be. You must crochet a gauge swatch. There's no way around it; your gauge depends on several factors - your hook size, fiber, and it also greatly depends on how tightly or loosely you personally crochet. There are good possibilities that even if you and I both used the same size hook and the same fiber, we'd still produce different sized swatches!
Your gauge swatch should be at least 4 inches x 4 inches. After you end your swatch, you need to block it, then measure and calculate the number of stitches per inch by measuring fully across and dividing the number of stitches by the number of inches. Then with that number you can calculate out the finished size of your graphghan.
So for example, let's say your finished swatch was 3 stitches to the inch and your graphghan pattern had 90 stitches across. You'd figure 90 divided by 3, and that would tell you the finished graphghan pattern would be 30 inches across.
One thing about crocheting (or knitting) is it's all very math intensive. It's also very necessary, especially for things like garments, since you wouldn't want to find that the cardigan you worked hours and hours to make either drags on the ground or is small enough to fit a 10 year old!
Melanie,
We can get extra time for our exams if we have certain conditions.. Dyslexia for one...
A lot of people here uses up ALL the time.. I just know that if I do so, I will redo my assignment, and actually making it worse than it allready is :p
So I do my work, and I get the hell out of there.. It seems to work for me.
Haha.. 45 min extra.. Yikes, an entire written exam by hand.. Oh dear lord.. Ice age or not, it had to be done.. I'm sure my hand would not function for weeks after if I had to write my entie exam by hand.. I would die a little on the inside... And it's my worst fear, that my computer will say: "You know? F**K you lady........." during the exam..
Don't worry about the picture... :p So unless you really really wan't to rotate it, be my guest.. :p The sweater is very nice, made from superwash merino (thank god for the superwash.. I would die if I had to wash it by hand <- I hate that, even though my washer has a wool program :p )
The hat turned out beautifully... But he is now asking for a cowl.. So I guess I'm on it once again
My mother... Og well... She's there.. That's pretty much what I have to say about that subject :p
Hugs
Hii
could you please upgrade me?
I posted two* FREE knitting patterns for Kindle for today...grab 'em before they're gone! (Note: you do not need to have an actual Kindle. If you have a smartphone, you can download a Kindle reader app for FREE...if all you have is a PC, you can download to your PC...and I believe there may also be a way now of completely bypassing any kind of reader app to read directly online - though please don't quote me on that, as I'm not sure. I find the PC reader to be quite decent for pattern content...since I don't own a Kindle, I can't say how well it works...but I would think a smaller screen would make patterns kind of difficult to read.)
Here's the circle (you must join to see posts):
/circles/pg/groups/36435/crafty-bookworms/
* Though there are technically only two knitting books offered for today, one of those is a two-book bundle, making the equivalent basically three books for today!
