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.

Line,
Great job!
Someone looks like he's liking his new companion!
It looks amazing and whatever problems you had with it, it looks perfect!
And the perfect size for a 6 year old. Good work and thanks for sharing...always nice to see pics of finished works being enjoyed.
George,
Welcome!
If you have a good image of an American flag, you could try putting it through the freePatternWizard. The formats of gif and png are best for this, jpg is not generally recommended, since the colors don't tend to stay "true," as they can get smudgy and give undesired results.
If you don't want to graph the pattern, perhaps you can get one for free...I do know Lion Brand has a freebie, but I have to warn you, the stars are sewn on:

I haven't seen anything in searches that doesn't have sewn on stars.
they definitely deserve better money than what they get
Sherry,

Do you think you can get close to a
one-to-one stitch? I'm hoping I can!I'll take a look and see what's available. Probably will look for something free online, maybe a beginner knitted scarf/neck warmer/whatever, LOL. I have a few favorite sites for freebies...someone should have something!
I'm also keeping my mind open for
something unexpected that looks simple, such as a one-piece
purse. On the bright side, JoAnn's and Michael's are pretty close to each other (and to Walmart). But I only go to those stores when I have a coupon or a great need for something, like a certain kind of needle/hook. The not-so-good part is that even though they're all near each other, they're not very close by, so it's a hassle just to get there. And with the price of gas being so expensive, we try to do everything at once. So when we do our grocery shopping, we go to Walmart, because it's the least expensive. I admit, Walmart has come in handy here and there for craft items, like a month or two ago, when I needed to make some coasters for a wedding gift. I also like that if we were to be there during odd hours (2am, LOL), I can technically grab what I need from Walmart, like a skein of yarn or some crochet hook/knitting needle.
I do wish there were other options, though.
Just a thought...I've seen patterns for fingerless gloves and there's also a pattern for a bunny (and perhaps also a teddy bear), which make use of a pretty straightforward simple straight knitted piece. If I can find one of them, what would you think of something like that?
Or do you think that would kind of
defeat the purpose, since they'd be "joined" together?The Michael's in my area has a yarn section barely worth the 10 minute drive, same for Hobby Lobby. Which is why I went ahead and ordered the book form amazon even though I prefer to look "hands on" too.
The only stitches I was taught were the simple, knit, and purl, but I've been playing with different stitches.
If it's like other crafts, I'll end up buying several different books just to make sure I have a complete picture
. My sister says that is
my manifestation of OCD, I chase knowledge in whatever captures my
attention.Since I'm going to end up buying the books anyway, I'll be happy to share about what I learn
