New Knitting Software


I have purchased the Stitch & Motif Maker software and the Sock Wizard PC V2. The sock knitting sw is a charting sw for hand knitters. It's a very amazing tool for sock knitters. Just plug in the needle size, shoe size, the material you plan to use and the type of sock you like to knit, cuff to toe, or toe to cuff. Further you need to have the gauge numbers and decided what kind of heel you like to have. You can choose from ultimate diagonal or YO diagonal, or short-row with heel flap. You have three options to knit the flap, (eye of partridge, stockinette or regular heel stitch). There are eight options available for your toe section. When all numbers plugged in you will have the option of printing your personalized sock pattern. It will take you less than 2 minutes to complete inputs for the pattern. I really love this CD because it takes the guess work out of sock knitting.

The Stitch & Motif Maker software let you work on your own ideas and translate your creativity into a usable pattern chart to print.
Both sw are available for you to use. I will have my computer with me so all of you who are interested in printing customized sock pattern and motifs are welcome to use it.
You also have the opportunity to explore the Sweater Wizard which I have installed on the computer as well to your conveniences.
