knit.coolAbout this project
My name is Natalie Totska, and knit.cool is my bachelor project at Carinthia University of Applied Sciences (CUAS) in the study program Multimedia Technology.
Knit.cool explores digital tools for vintage punch-card knitting machines. The app helps you turn images into editable punch-card patterns and supports you in generating garment instructions.
Using the app
Most standard keyboard shortcuts work as you would expect (for example: copy/paste, undo/redo, keys for the tools are on their buttons: "p" is for pencil, "e" for eraser etc.).
In the garment calculator you will see Japanese-style notation for shaping. Example: 2-3-6 means decrease 2 stitches every 3 rows, 6 times.
Feedback & questions
Knit.cool is made and run by one person, and it keeps growing. Questions, ideas and bug reports are all welcome. Write to me at:
Knit.Cool is also on Instagram (@cool.knit) and Facebook.
My own knitting patterns are published on Ravelry.
