site news and information

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.

Hello all,

New to this site -- referred by a FB fellow Tunisian crochet friend.  I'm wondering about software to produce charts for Tunisian patterns (not graphgans)--the type that indicate forward and reverse pass stitch/pattern info.  Does anyone have info on producing them?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Kathy.

I looked at the images that you sent yesterday.

I looked at your smaller image called "1 - before conversion redesign @ original size preview".  It's 444x612.  It looks very clean with no stray colors and has sharp edges.  This is a perfect image to use with the program.

In fact, I ran this image through the program that's currently available to everyone.  (v3.7.4).  I chose crochet, Stitchboard Full Palette, Automatic closest color match, Entire palette, and in section 6, Use the actual number of pixels.

As expected, the resulting pdf looked perfect.  It was 444 stitches across.  There were no stray pixels.  It chose 4 colors.  I did not create a word chart but that should have been fine too since it uses the same output to create counts.

I'm not sure what your second image is for.  If you enlarge your first image in a graphics program, it will introduce a bunch of new colors in the process.  I show that your image #2 has 256 colors.  Again I would expect this.  It just happens when you enlarge or reduce images.

Since you want 155 stitches across in your final pattern, you ideally want to use a clean image that's 155 pixels across.  Whatever you did to create image #1 (clean image) could be used to create a smaller image of 155 pixels.  In other words, if you create a 155-pixel image that's as clean as #1, everything should work the way you want.

Let me know if this sounds doable.

Terry
