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!
You and I could crochet the same number of
stitches with the same fiber and the same hook and still have
completely different gauges. And almost nobody likes making
swatches. Especially when you really want to get started on your
project! But swatches are well worth the effort; the alternative is
to make something, get almost or all the way through the project,
only to find out the size is wrong, particularly if it's a garment.
So unless the size of a finished project really,
really doesn't matter (a scarf, for instance), swatching is always
the best way to ensure your project isn't too large or too small.
Thank you!!!!
It has now morphed into more of a blanklet with the addition of my next colour as well as the fact that I kept accidentally adding stitches.
I started with 44, I am now somewhere around 90 stitches wide....
And it appears that I am still having trouble posting pictures but eventually I will be able to share.
HERE is what i need it to look like when im finished.
Now i know it wont look exactly like this...mostly bc this is my first one and well its not going to come out this great! LOL i created this picture using the mascot from the other one. i want block letts like these. i just need the part with the team name...nothing above or below. its 239 stitches across. ive been told they are supposed to be SC
I refuse to do SC so i did HDC and
its fine...LOLthanks again!!!!
Hi,
my name is Debbie. I lost my job the first week of December due to health issues and have since been working on something I've been dreaming of doing for several years now - designing and selling my custom stitch designs. I have started a blog and store for this purpose. It's been slow going due to continued health issues, and I've hit quite a few bumps in the road along the way, but I'm not too unhappy with the progress made so far. I'm currently re-working some stitch designs I made when I was a teenager [I'm almost 60 now!].
As to which crafts I enjoy ... I love them ALL ... I learned crochet early on; at the time knitting was too complicated for me, but have recently taught myself using youtube videos and online tutorials. I have done needlepoint, crewel, plastic canvas, counted cross stitch, latch hook rugs, sewing and recently loom knitting due to hand and joint pain while knitting or crocheting.
I was so very happy to find a stitching community to share my love of all things stitching! Thank you for providing this venue for stitchers everywhere to meet and interact with each other!
Doris,
Welcome!
So happy you've found us!Oooh, 3 cats!
LOL, not like I'm a cat lover or
anything. 
Do you have any photos?I haven't been to Washington itself, but I've been to Oregon and I love the gorgeous Pacific NW! Your trees are amazing!
Re: making a pattern, for something as small as a keychain you're probably best off looking for an image that's pretty simple and small...the smaller, less complex the image, the smaller of a pattern you'll be able to make (LOL, since you probably don't want to make a keychain that's 200 stitches across!). A drawn image, clip art, will likely be best in this case. There are some sites that do offer free clip art; as for whether or not it's personal use only or can be used for the purpose you're intending is determined by the individual site.
Again, welcome, and would love to see pics of your kitties!
