Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

I want to publish some of my free patterns on my blog, but I have to pay to get Adobe pdf writer. So I wrote it all out on a blog page, found a way to group free patterns together but now I think I’ve managed to upload my patterns onto my blog using an alternative method. If anyone has the time would you go onto my blog and click on the link to see if the blanket pattern opens up in a new page.

Thanks!

It was on your blog last night if my memory serves and it is there now.

yes the pattern was written on the blog but I have just put a link to the pattern on there now. It’s the link I’m curious about. I can open it but I’m not sure if that’s cos the file is on my pc anyway.

Liz,I cant get it to work,it wont come on for me when i click the link.

Ok thanks Cheryl, I thought it was too good to be true!!

It doesn’t open for me.  Sorry.

Ok thanks I’ll remove that post now...shame!

You can get free pdf converters, I use Cute pdf writer which was was of the ones recommended through Ravelry.  You also need to be able to host the pdf files somewhere, I use Ravelry for that too btw as I can then monitor all the downloads etc.

hth

Brill thanks Lucy I’ve downloaded it and converted a pattern onto pdf, how do I host it on ravelry?

are you on Ravelry yet?  You need to get yourself listed as a designer, if you look in their help section, it talks you through it all

yes I am on ravelry ID is LizC
I am looking through the info now.

Mmmmm not sure how this works...how do i upload my newly creadted pdf onto ravelry?

Me too, trying to add stuff to mine is very frustrating.

I wish that when I wanted to put a few pics up they could take less room by being next to each other but they just scroll down the page. I changed hosts cos this seemed more user friendly...we’ll see!
