As an extra bonus, I've deployed an experimental version of a crochet pattern maker. It's still very rough around the edges, but please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions on it. You can access it through the advanced pattern maker option by selecting "crochet pattern" as the pattern type.
I apologize to everyone who has had trouble with the website in the past few weeks.
My web host recently changed their quota system, and as a result the site now goes over quota towards the end of the day. This causes error messages like:
"OverQuotaError: The API call datastore_v3.Put() required more quota than is available."I am away from my main computer for the next several weeks, traveling for family and business reasons, so unfortunately I won't be able to fix the error for a while.
If you see that error, please try again in 8-12 hours. My web host resets my quota at approximately midnight, pacific standard time. If you wait until after then, it should work as normal. Again, I apologize for inconvenience, and I'll fix it when I get back home in the middle of December.
Last weekend my sister gave me the nicest present ever. As a thank you gift for making her the site, she made me a cross stitch from a photo of my brother, sister, and I, based on the photo on the about page.
She's been working on it in secret for a very long time, and when she gave it to me it just blew me away. I love you cutie 3.14...!
In other news, I just checked and the site has generated over 100,000 patterns. Even if most of them will never be stitched, it's still amazing to me. Thanks to everyone who has written with comments and helpful suggestions, and thanks to everyone who has shared patterns with the blog. I'm swamped with work for the next few weeks, so I won't be posting many updates, but keep sharing your patterns and I'll try post them as soon as I can.

Just a random pic of colorful knitting.How meta! A cross stitch of knitting, in the same week when a few users have been asking me about making knitting patterns from cross stitch patterns.
