This web site was started to put the sweater wheel on the web.
Later, other simple sweater patterns generators were added.
More recently the focus of the web site has moved to the collection of knitting
stitch patterns. At first the knitting stitch collection was text only.
Beginning in late 2006, pictures or scans of knitting stitches were added to illustrate
the stitch patterns. To add a picture, a swatch
must be knit. That takes yarn and time. Because this is costly the site is being
converted to a subscription site. There will still be about 400 stitch patterns on the
non-subscriber portion of the site. Most of the features currently available to
non-subscribers will continue to be accessible to all.
The subscriber site has less ad-space and has PDF printer friendly versions of the
sweater patterns and stitch patterns. New stitch patterns and stitch pattern pictures
will only be added to the subscriber side of the site.
Thank you.

All knitters are mathematicians. Knitters count the stitches (arithmetic),
figure out the number of stitches needed (algebra) and create shapes
(topology, geometry, and trigonometry).
Knitting was one of the first applications of computer programming.
Knitted fabrics were commercially produced using punch cards long
before anyone ever heard of IBM or Microsoft.

Because knitting is a matter of individual abilities
and styles, the information on this site is presented without warranty regarding
its accuracy or the outcome of its use. This site is by no means
the only on-line resource for knitting pattern generators. On the menu at the left of
this screen, the Links item includes references to other on-line sweater pattern
generators. Also there is an excellent product,
Sweater Wizard, that provides detailed, customized sweater patterns.
Most of the pages in this website are written in ColdFusion. ColdFusion is a web
development tool. All tables are derived from material stored
in a SQL Server 2000 database. Sweater patterns are either selected from
database material based on user input; or calculated 'on the fly' based on user input.
Best if viewed with Internet Explorer. Designed on 1024x768 screen setting.
Most screens have also been tested for 800x600 screen setting compatibility.
