Screenshots

The screenshots below are made with the 0.2.0 version of Knitter, which uses ODE for the physics engine and wxWidgets for the display. Versions before 0.1.0 did not have a real physics engine, so patterns rendered using those older versions will look somewhat different. Click on the thumbnails to view the full image.

A simple swatch on OSX. The two corners have been pinned too close together so the fabric has slumped (this can also be because the gravity has been set too high). The pattern for this swatch can be seen in the pattern entry field at the bottom. The pattern has been rotated so that everything fits in the window. "Down" is towards the bottom left.

A set of increases and decreases. This pattern was knitted left to right (or possibly right to left...). The compression at the left and right edges is due to gravity pulling the loose ends of the fabric down. This is directly from increase.pat, available in the examples directory. All four edges of the pattern have been fixed.

Sample increase and decrease

A simple braided cable pattern. This version was made with the older 0.0.3 version of Knitter. The newest version has a bug in the model that causes cables to clump up. This should be fixed fairly soon.

Note the way the entire fabric pulls inwards at the cable, and flexes outwards in the few rows of stockinette at the top and bottom. Also note how the stitches pull together every couple of rows at the very edge; two rows pull together when the fabric is turned, and the rows pull apart in between remaining rows. It's just like making a real stockinette scarf!
