I have to know often how colours look when put together. Because this isn’t really one of my strong points I hope that the color scheme designer will be a help ;-)

Sock Pattern Generator
I don’t knit socks!
But I liked the sock pattern generator nevertheless ;-)))

Do you still look for a nice signature for your emails?
What about one of these?
With your own name of yourse ;-))

Beautiful Labels for the Kitchen
If you need some nice labels, too, e.g. for the spice jars in the kitchen, then you can learn how to make them in the tutorial.

Clip Art Candles
That’s a great idea again: embellish candles in jars with printed clip arts.
It’s the same principle as for the faux quilt votives – and I find one as beautiful as the other ;-)

Rasterbator
Huuh, That’s fun: you take any picture, send it through the Rasterbator and get a PDF file with single pictures that you can join to form a big grid pattern picture of the original picture.
The grid pattern picture here was made from the picture of a sunflower on a single A4 page, but it could have been much bigger ;-)
Note:
I heard several times that the Rasterbator doesn’t work.
I don’t know what the problems were, but it works for me (perhaps they only made corrections ;-)):
I’m going to the Rasterbator, click on Rasterbate online and then on ‘If you are sure you have Flash Player 7, click here.’.
Then: off we go! :)
I don’t have Flash Player 7, but I’m much further, but it works anyhow ;-)
Another note: a live test showed: if it still doesn’t work, read/observe the error messages thoroughly, that’s helps sometimes ;-)

Cherry Blossom Card
I find the idea for this card nice, you can simply download it, print it, cut and fold it and you’re ready to send it to somone beloved.

Random Squares Pattern Generator
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 :)

What Can You Do With Filet Crochet/Cross Stitch Embroidery Charts?

Online Pythagoras Calculator
I decided to crochet a Bolero from self-designed crochet motives and selected the Bolero 1 as pattern (see the links below on how to find the pattern).
With Bolero 1 the square crochet motives are worked standing on their tip and I knew the width of the back of my Bolero.
So then I ‘only’ had to find out how long the edges of my crochet motives have to be and it’s Pythagoras who’s responsible for ;-)
And then I thought that I’m surely not the only one with such questions. You can get the same problem e.g. if you want to knit Entrelac and want to find out the size of the individual squares. I suppose that there are more uses for this when crafting or needleworking.
For all those people I wrote my Online Pythagoras Calculator ;-)

Faux Quilt Votives
I find this idea really great, too: simply scan old quilts, print, sew a little and wrap around a votive ;-)
It’s a little bit as with the Fabric/Paper Place Mat.
And I think that it would look wonderful, too, with a paper Crazy Quilt!
By the way: the paper gets more transparent when you paint it slightly with oil.
It will smell a while, but then the smell disappears ;-)
On the page she also shows how to print the quilt picture onto inkjet T-shirt transfer and embellish leather with it – great!
