Knitting Pattern Book
Posted in Sewing on 01/03/2004 07:25 am by admin
Any suggestions on a good book and / or software that aides in knitting pattern design?
I've got the basic, but I also do better after doing some extra reading. Any suggestions on books and / or software that teach you how to write a knitting pattern. Thanks!
Ok...To further the question, I do I go about using things like my excel software??
There are some knitting design books, but they are a little older, except for this (It's got decent reviews on Amazon, but for me personally, when I examined it at the bookstore, nothing about it made me want to get it.):

Older design books:

As far as making life easier when writing a pattern, I have only used my computer's basic software (Word, Excel) to do charts. However, I have been looking into getting some knitting software/programs. Here are some reviews that I've found and bookmarked:
This blogger really examines the various capabilities of programs. Look at posts dated Jan. 10, 12 and 16
