Are there any programs available where you can DESIGN a pattern?
For example…tell what size needle, how many stitches…and what kind and voila you could SEE what you design ahead of time?
Knitting software
Hmmm, something like that would be pretty handy.
I have a G5 Imac…I think there are things out there for Microsoft but not sure how they work.

Wow, $135?
Now I remember why I switched to Linux 
My recollection is that they’re pretty expensive.
There are many knitting software programs. Here’s a link to a few of them. Not sure if they are what you had in mind. Google can help you out, too.
LOL just out of curiosity I did a search for Linux knitting pattern software and believe it or not I did find an application that can be used to convert an image file to a knitting pattern.
I’m going to download and install it to see how it works.
Sweater Wizard is excellent – I’m not sure if it’s available for Mac though. I went to a workshop at my LYS that was a how-to on all the features, and it’s amazing. Like it’ll tell you how many yards of yarn your pattern will use as you configure it – very handy.
Does any of this software show a PICTURE of what it will look like knitted up? I think this would be easy to do with today’s softwware capabilities.
I checked out the one and it shows the pattern as you make it…but I didn’t get to any step that will show the fnished facsimile.
Amybody know of one that will do that?
