after checking in with knitting blogs I came across knitting on impulse and her series on making knitting patterns from nature photographs. she pixilates the image using a photo editor and then chooses the colours from the pixilated image.

A while ago I did something similar - using a landscape photo to create a pattern for a patchwork quilt.

Doing this is not difficult - all you need it to either scan a photograph or use a digital image and alter it in photo shop or even a free online photo editing software - and you can change the image resolution to make a very pixilated image - or use one of the filters for various effects.
