Would like your input regarding Illusion Knitting options
October 4, 2015 at 11:21:35 PM
As we were setting up the illusion knitting function, we discussed what to include when sending to a pdf. Our final decision was to offer an illusion graph and/or a word chart.
The word charts were pretty straightforward. And instructions are included on the key page. So a partial word chart might look like:
Now to the graph. Since every other row of an illusion graph is basically knitting a full row across, some charts out there leave these rows out with the understanding that whoever's knitting will remember this.
Other charts out there use 3 colors to represent knitting, purling, and a full knitted blank row.
All this seems confusing so we have the PatternWizard creating the chart showing ALL rows. Again, instructions are included on the key page. So a sample of an illusion chart is:
We'd like any feedback as to whether this is the best approach.
Another thing we discussed was to offer a straight knitting chart. This would be a chart with one row per original image row. (Remember that an illusion chart winds up to be 4 times the number of original rows). So a 100-row pattern would wind up being 400 illusion-knitted rows. Would you feel there's a need for the 100-row chart in addition to the 400-row illusion chart that we output now?
Also, we number every row. Would you rather see every 5 or 10 numbered?
Finally, the word chart allows MC/CC, Color A/B, or Color 1/2. Would you like to see anything else?
Thanks for any input.
