Well, I announced yesterday that I will present some generators, the corset pattern generator is one of those which flummoxed me most!
But on second thought an Elizabethan corset must of course be made-to-measure ;-)

The next pattern generator ;-)
I had a lot of fun while playing around with the background pattern generator – and one day I will use the patterns to create e.g. cute, personal cards :)

Do you still look for a nice signature for your emails?
What about one of these?
With your own name of yourse ;-))
As said before I looked recently for pattern generators and found also the random knitting chart generator.
I find this idea so great, somewhen I must knit this pattern ;-)
For the lace pattern on the picture I checked knit, purl, knit two together and yarn over, I didn’t check mirrored.
By the way I learned about this through the Ravelry group ‘Random Pattern Generators’, they found my generators also great ;-))

Recently I looked again for pattern generators, after all I made some myself (see links below ;-)) and I want to know what great ideas other people have ;-)
One of these great ideas ist the Kumihimo pattern planner.
You can get with it the initial position of the threads for a simple 8-braid for a given pattern.
They didn’t explain what a ‘simple 8-braid’ is but I think that it is the same as in my Kumihimo entry, I didn’t have the time to check this, yet.

Recently I wanted to bead loom two patterns of my random squares pattern generator and needed a bead loom for this.
I’ve completely forgotten about the tutorial that I presented for my other bead bracelet (well, the entries pile up :)) and simply wound my thread around a cardboard fruit dish and just started.
The advantage is that I have plenty of thread to weave in after cutting the threads on the back of the dish.
And if you don’t have a cardboard fruit dish I’m sure that you can use a box of chocolates, too ;-)
I didn’t need to make little notches with my cardboard fruit dish because it was rough enough, but with a box of chocolates I think it would be better, just as described in the tutorial.
And that’s it.
I haven’t woven in all threads and have no closure yet – I can’t decide.
It’s done with the random squares pattern 1 further below.
And here I began another one that I make with the random squares pattern 2 further below.
Random Squares Pattern 1

I can’t remember why I wanted to let generate square mirrored random patterns: it took me so long to finish my random squares pattern generator ;-)
But I must say now that I’m really amazed of the generated patterns!
I sat already for hours and let make patterns and saved them ;-)
Personally I prefer the patterns of a width from about 15 squares to 35 squares: the patterns are very varied and you can recongnize very well the mirroring of the patterns. The bigger they get the more they seem merely random and then I don’t like them anymore.
By the way: up until now I haven’t had no pattern twice except for the really little ones!
I even tried some patterns already! ;-))
I knitted and filet crocheted some swatches, there was no time for more yet, but I must say as always: you can make muuuch more from the patterns than only filet crochet and cross stich!
Have fun with my random squares pattern generator!
P.S.: By the way, you can find the patterns from the top at the random squares pattern generator under ‘Completed patterns’, they are both 25 squares wide :)
