About
Hi. My name is Stefan and I'm from Sweden. I started my "bracelet career" when I was about 16 or something in middle school. I liked
the technique a lot and made bracelets to sell at christmas fairs and stuff. I was particularily interested in how to make own patterns
and I made them by hand almost every day!
I made this homepage some years ago (must be like 2006) when I had learnt PHP and started my programming interest. By then, the homepage only contained step-by-step instructions how to make bracelets. But as my programming skills increased, I made the first version of my Pattern Generator and it was a great success. I also allowed visitors to upload their own patterns they had generated but a few times it ended up in copyright issues.
In may 2008 I started this website with new festures like more advanced functions for logging in, publishing patterns, and a great search tool for bracelets.
Now I'm "old" and I do not tie bracelets anymore. I program a lot when I have time over, though I am working full time. I still get huge kicks when I get response on my work. Sometimes I get obsessed and must work on something on the website and the other parts of my life suffers :). But there has never been a problem.
I hope you like my site and that you will develop the same interest I did when I was younger. Enjoy!
