Folks,
I’m pleased to announce that I’ve got the alpha version of the Cable Grapher up and running. You can’t hear it, but I’m playing a little tape recording of applause in the background right now. Thank you, thank you.
Okay, enough of that.
I expect this thing has more bugs than I have dirty dishes in my sink right now, so please be patient. It has a lot of limitations right now, such as the fact that it only understands square patterns (if one line is longer than the others, it will cough up blood and die); it knows very few stitch types; it doesn’t have a legend telling you what the images mean yet; etc. Please feel free to leave comments on this entry telling me what you do and don’t like about it.

Right. I’m going to work on CDS for a bit and give my hands a break from typing.

Addendum
It occurs to me that I didn’t describe what the cable grapher actually is. Oops.
The cable grapher is a utility for people who are working on knitting that uses cable or lace techniques. If you have a pattern that is written out as a series of instructions ( “k2, p2, k2tog, yo, p2, kt” ) and you would rather have it printed as a chart, then the cable grapher will help you out.

The charts that it generates are meant to be read from the lower right-hand corner up.
