Posting Your Original Patterns on Forums
This is for patterns, or for those of you that just want to post pictures of your completed items.
I use www.photobucket.com for all my forum pictures.
I use www.flickr.com for posting patterns, yarns, finished projects to Raverly
Both are free.
Re-size your picture to 300 x 300-400 that is what the ville likes. Upload your picture to Photobucket.
Hold your cursor over the picture you want to put on the forum. A small menu will appear. At the very bottom of that menu, click on ' link options' .
That opens a pop-up window ( if it doesn't open then check the yellow strip on your browser. Click on that and allow pop-ups from photobucket).
Now on that pop-up you have all the options. Go to boards and forums. The second box gives you a small picture that is click-able. I love that one.
Click in that box and you will see it has already copied to your computer. I open notepad and paste into that. Do that to all the pictures you will want to use.
Now open your new topic on the Ville, I paste my pattern in first and the where you want your pictures just copy and paste from your notepad.
I save this notepad in case I want to add the pattern to other crochet sites
Now at the Ville, you contact an administrator and tell them you have added an original pattern. They will check it out, then they will pm you back that they have given you a contributors icon, it will say PAT.
Hope this helps
Any other questions just ask

When making the case for scrubbie pattern 2, in Large and number 3 , add a row of (sc, next st, 2 sc next st) around. Join with a sl st to first sc. This goes between rnd 3 and 4 on the base.
Optional Lid
Round 1: ch 2, 12 dc in 2nd ch from hook, join with sl st to first dc.
Round 2: ch 3, dc in same st, 2 dc in each dc around, join with sl st to first dc. (24 dc)

Round 4: ch 1, *(2 sc, 2 sc in next dc), repeat from * around. Join with sl st to first sc. Ch 5, join to next sc making small loop to shut case.
Weave in ends.
Find joining column, count 5 stitches to the right of joining stitch. Attach main color, fold lid in half and mark back center with a safety pin. Count
out 5 stitches to the right. Whip stitch your lid to the base, I do it over about 10 stitches, you can do more or less.
Last is the button, choose either contrasting color, I switch to a smaller hook, on this cotton I will use an F hook.
rnd 1: ch 2, 5 sc in 2nd ch from hook, sl st to join
rnd 2: ch 1, sc in each sc around, sl st to join
Make sure you don't have that hole in the center, gather and close it if you do. I use the center yarn and weave it to the outside, where I gather the edge, a running stitch if you sew. Pull this tight and knot with your outside yarn. Weave the short yarn back in your button and cut off.
Use the long outside yarn to sew your button to match where your loop hits on the side of you base.
Under Scrubbies on the right I have my free patterns, and some links to free coaster patterns that would work for facial scubbies
