Looking for that perfect pattern for your next design project? Well look no further… Pattern Wall – brought to you by Caleb Kimbrough at Lost and Taken and Oscar Godson at Knee Deep In Code – has a great collection of patterns free for the taking to use on anything from a Twitter background to that rad new MySpace layout you’ve been working on for weeks – and anything else you can think of that requires a tiling background.

Both of their blogs are great reads as well, so be sure to bookmark them for future reading…

Do yourself a favor and follow Caleb and Oscar on Twitter. While you’re at it, be sure to tell them thanks for solving all your pattern deficiencies!!
