Tartan maker




I found the most incredible and amusing textile tool with no weaving required: the Tartan Maker. Actually it's intended for generating tartan patterns for web backgrounds but it's so fun that I couldn't resist playing around for a good while, changing colours, orientation, and even yarn size. Also Tartan Maker has a sister site for creating striped patterns: Stripe Generator. It's equally fun!

Hello Karen,
thank you for your comments on my new blog! I am still trying to figure out how it all works.
I am interested in what you said about domestic crafts not having to be perfect. I too like to see the handmade, personal touch in a piece.
This Tartan pattern thing looks great fun.. will have a play with that later. Have put your blog as a link on my blog.
Thank you again,
Ebba
