Crochet + Knitting for Geeks

By the way, did I mention already that my pattern generators (maze pattern generator, cellular automaton and random squares pattern generator) have been mentioned in a book? :))

I’ve read it and I also had fun with the rest of the book ;-)
I liked especially the (here already presented ;-)) crocheted hyperbolic planes and freeform work, knit-covered (computer)cords (similar to filled i-cord), yarn bombing and the secure password input, but also mobius shawls, klein bottle hats, hacked knitting machines and much more.

That reminds me, as I understand it ‘geeks’ are people who are not only superficially interested in a subject ;-)

See best for yourself, you can find more about as well as at the publishing house (O’Reilly) as well as at Amazon.de (Häkeln + Stricken für Geeks (book)und Häkeln + Stricken für Geeks (kindle));-)

If you want to make a maze quilt, it seems that you only need to prepare several squares with white and black quarters. These are the maze quilt pieces.

Should you also want to make a maze quilt, you can find here in the blog the maze pattern generator and here a quilt that has been designed with the generator (and that looks amazing! :))

The Little Yellow Duck Project

The Little Yellow Duck Project

Links of entry

The Little Yellow Duck Project is meant to point out to people in a kind way how important it is to donate blood, tissue, bone marrow or organs.
You can simply make a little yellow duck, give it a tag with it’s name and purpose and leave it in public places for others to find.

Instructions for sewn, knitted and crocheted little ducks can be found on the website, as well as tags to print.

And if you find a little duck, you can tell them at The Little Yellow Duck Project so that everybody knows where the little ones have been found already :)

Thanks, Ute, for mentioning the project to me!

Isn’t this wire and beads fish most beautiful?
And if you don’t like fishes, I’m sure that you can also use this technique for little flowers.
Or a wire and beads cat ;-)
