## What it is
Knit Format is a specification and supporting code for the Knit file format, an open format developed by FashionTec for representing knitting-related data. The repository appears to define the format structure and provide tooling to read or write it.

## Use cases
- read and write knit pattern files
- implement the knit file format in my own tool
- convert knitting patterns to an open format
- store knitting project data in a standard format

## When to choose
- you need an open, documented format for knitting pattern data
- you are building tools in the FashionTec knitting ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained knitting software with recent releases
- you need a general-purpose design or CAD format rather than a knitting-specific one

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: serialization, file-system
- domain: files, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: file-format, knitting, specification, fashiontec
