Octoknit

Introduction

Use this website to design patterns, share them and send to a Brother 950i knitting machine.

Status

This is in active development. Current plans include:

• Improving the user journey from beginner to regular.
• Replace the commandline python script with a full php solution.
• Extend the upload to knitting machine script to support multi-mylar sheet patterns and multi colour.
