ColorWork - colorwork knitting pattern editor
ColorWork
ColorWork is an editor for creating colorwork knitting patterns. The stitches can be viewed either as squares (easier to edit), or chevrons (closer to the finished appearance).
Click on the pallet to set the current color. The big square and chevron show the currently selected color.
Left-click on the big square for the grid view. Left-click on the big chevron for the chevron view.
Left-click on the grid to set a square to the current color. Left-click again to clear it. Left-click and drag to set/clear many squares.
Right-click and drag on the grid to select a rectangular region. The selection is shown by a markee (crawling) outline. When you Right-click-up, the markee snaps to the grid lines.
Left-click and drag inside the selection picks up the selection and drops a copy of it elsewhere. The markee goes with the copy. After you drop it, you can click and drag to drop another copy.
To clear the selection
The Save button saves the current pattern to a file,
with a .ckn extension
The Load button loads a saved pattern from a .ckn file.
The Resize button brings up a dialog box that allows you to change the size of the pattern, and the guideline interval.
The Print button writes the current pattern to a PostScript (.ps) file.
You have to print the PostScript file yourself.
ColorWork is written Perl/Tk. To run it, you need
Tk
If you want to print the patterns, you need some way to print PostScript file.
