Not all my patterns come from there, no. Actually, most of them don't, which is not obvious by looking at my archive because I link there every time I can.
I started learning friendship bracelet with a book, so my first patterns came from there. Then I made up mine, and I joined a forum as mentioned above, so I made lots of patterns from this forum. All in all, I discovered and began to use friendship-bracelets.net relatively late. But patterns circulate a lot, get copied, modified, copied again, never credited... so given that most of the patterns I used where found in places that are not freely accessible (book, login-walled forum (in French!), etc), I mostly link to friendship-bracelets.net because most of the patterns are *also* there. But if you look in the patterns section of my site you'll see that I had to host quite a lot of patterns myself anyway because not *all* were on friendship-bracelets.net ^^
For example if you open the page of that rainbow bracelet that caught your eye, you'll see that I link to the pattern on my site! (And I understand why this pattern caught your eye, I wanted to make it for a while, but the pattern is not the easiest for beginners because it uses both traditional method and alpha method. I hope you can feel comfortable making it at some point though! ♥)
