## What it is
Knitweb is a web application (frontend and backend) for creating and editing knitting patterns, working together with the Knitlib server and the Knitpat format. It supports offline pattern generation and online mode connected to a knitting machine server.

## Use cases
- generate knitting patterns from images
- edit knitting patterns with drawing tools
- design colorwork patterns for knitting machines
- create knitting patterns offline and use them later on a machine
- crop and colorize a pattern before knitting

## When to choose
- you use a knitting machine with the Knitlib server ecosystem
- you need a visual editor for Knitpat-format knitting patterns

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained or supported knitting app
- you want a modern web stack or active community
- you need a license permitting redistribution
