After spending all day today leafing through knitting/crochet patterns and thought it a good idea to start a thread based on that. I'll start:


Here's the pattern to some lovely wrist warmers. I modified it a bit to fit better since the pattern I found was rather flawed.


Cast on 40 stitches.
*_Row 1. (WS) K3 P2 K2 P4 K2 P2 K2 P6 K2 P2 K2 P4 K2 P2 K3
_Row 2. (RS) K5, P2, K4, P2, K2, P2, K6, P2, K2, P2, K4, P2,K5
_Row 3. (WS) K3, P2, K2, P4, K2, P2, K2, P6, K2, P2, K2, P4, K2, P2, K3
_Row 4. (RS) K5, P2, K4, P2, K2, P2, K6, P2, K2, P2, K4, P2, K5
_Row 5. (WS) K3, P2, K2, P4, K2, P2, K2, P6, K2, P2, K2, P4, K2, P2, K3
_Row 6. (RS) K5, P2, K4, P2, K2, P2, K6, P2, K2, P2, K4, P2, K5
_Row 7. (WS) K3, P2, K2, P4, K2, P2, K2, P6, K2, P2, K2, P4, K2, P2, K3
_Row 8. (RS) K5, P2, C4F, P2, K2, P2, C6F, P2, K2, P2, C4F, P2, K5
5_ --total of 6
Work rows 1-5 (finish WS row)
Work 8 rows of 1x1 Ribbing
Cast Off
Begin seaming from the top. Seam the ribbed area, then leave a 1 1/2 inch hole for your thumb. Resume seaming using the mattress stitch to create the illusion of the double rib pattern

Only patterns I have are for chainmail, but I'd love to see pictures to go along with the patterns if you have them? I'm always impressed by stuff like this.

I actually got this pattern from a friend a good while back. However, I went snooping on websites again and managed to find the same wrist warmer with a slightly altered pattern. It looks the same though ^_^ There's a picture at the bottom.

Oh, I don't reinvent the wheel Smile  The best website I know for patterns and the like is mailleartisans.org, and there's a wonderful inspiration gallery of things people have made at theringlord.com.  Nox has posted some of his work in the past, and since I'm rusty I haven't taken any pictures of my newest stuff.  Next decent piece I make, I promise to take a picture and put it in here.

My current favorite pattern is for a baby quilt.  It's this one: http://www.jeanneraecrafts.com/babymagic.html

It makes an amazing checkered quilt, and if you're good visually, you can use it for other numbers of fabrics.  I will take photos of the one I just made for you guys, it's beautiful.

Not nearly so much as one might think, so long as you have the right tools (meaning a roller cutter and a quilting ruler).

Ooo.. quilt patterns. Currently my only quilt pattern is "cut equal-sized squares from fabric scraps, sew together".

What I would love is a quilt pattern that fits itself around using scraps instead of buying fabric specifically to cut into quilt pieces. I am thinking I should choose a pattern that will give me an interesting square, then make lots of these squares. I used to go to the quilt show every year at the apple festival, and the ladies there had the most amazing geometric patterns, with names like Flying Geese and Doubled Pinwheel...

Crystal and other quiltery people: what might you recommend for that?

Here's a scrap pattern that looks somewhat simple:  http://quilting.about.com/od/blockofthemonth/ss/freequiltblock.htm

Also this one. 
http://quilting.about.com/od/blockofthemonth/ss/mock_logcabin.htm

I'm getting them from this site:
http://scrapquilts.com/

Seems to have a few really good tips, as well.

Yeah, I like log cabin blocks. Traditional, but still cool looking.

I am both much more foolish and a great deal less absurd than I am likely to seem.

Mmm patterns. Thanks Crystal!

I think my next project is going to be Something To Use Up All My Old Worn-Out Blue Jeans.

Here's my favorite way to use up old jeans: Denim Rag Quilt. I like rag quilts, they are fun and really fast.

If you want to use smaller squares you can do this one in denim.

Now I want to make a quilt, but my sewing machine is still in Idaho.  Sad
