I came across these gems when tidying up my collection of vintage knitting patterns.

This fly allowed me take his photo as he considered what he was going to do next. I like the cool pattern on his wings.

I love the pocket detail on the shorts.

Here are a couple that I have posted in colour converted to B&W. They make a bigger statement than the colour versions

Wormwooded log washed on shore. The seaworms boring leaves these old sea-veteran logs with beautiful bore patterns. Dinner Rock Regional Park, British Columbia, Canada.

There are many reasons for lava to cool into basalt shapes, but I haven't seen a book or exhibit yet, that really explains each pattern....If anyone has an explanation for this particular one, I'd enjoy hearing it.

Whilst bad weather continues and rain miserably dampens spirits and impractical foot wear, a cheerful group of brollies adds colour to the otherwise grey mood.

Frost on the car windshield in the morning. Just used my old iPhone for this pic. I was late for work and didn't have time to get my camera to take a good shot.

These two are very precious samples

This is my second pattern that I deconstructed. It is from the Print & Pattern Book 1 from Beth Gunell.

When I started to count the amount of colours, the different motifs and the small details, I discovered the intricity of the design and how it did work. In this design the amount of different colours is just amazing, though the pattern itself seems to be 'pink' at first sight.

I really loved doing this exercise. It opened my eyes and gave me good ideas of how I could expand the possibility of my own motifs.

This exercise might also be a good warmup if you get stuck somewhere in designing patterns. Not to copy these designs, but really seeing how another designer made a pattern work.

Pattern recognition is one of my strong suits. I once took an online test that said so. Sometimes I find it hard to tell where the line lies between recognized patterns and imagined patterns. I imagine it's the same line between creativity and insanity. The same faded line between lie and fantasy. Love and infatuation.

But, as said, maybe it's all imagined.
