An umbrella project for FOSSASIA's open source knitting software, centered on kniteditor, a desktop GUI application for creating and editing digital knitting patterns from images and sending them to knitting machines. It includes supporting Python libraries such as knittingpattern (a pattern exchange format), AYABInterface (machine control over serial), and circle-knitting.
Use cases
- convert images into knitting patterns
- edit knitting patterns on a desktop app
- send knitting patterns to a Brother knitting machine via AYAB
- convert knitting patterns to SVG or PNG
- work with an open exchange format for knit works
When to choose
- you machine-knit with an AYAB-shield-equipped machine and want free, open tooling
- you want to programmatically manipulate knitting patterns with Python libraries
- you want to contribute to or fork open source knitting software
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases (last release 2018)
- you need a polished commercial alternative like DesignaKnit with shape editing and interactive knitting
- you need support for modern knitting machine models beyond the AYAB hack
