#AskFedi #knitters / #KnittingDesign / #designers @knitting : What #knitting design software do you suggest?
I am mostly in the #FLOSS camp: I will happily donate to a project with good ethos, but I am terribly suspicious of all code which is hidden, anything intended to only run on a phone. Code spec where hand knitting is an afterthought and the primary goal is direct-to-factory makes me wary.
I need to crank out a few patterns to give away, so something easy to get productive?
Today I knit up the first sleeve of the tuck stitch sweater I've been planning. I should wash and measure it to make sure all my calculations were right before I go on and knit any other pieces, I know...
It does look like it will be the right size once it is washed and shrinks up a bit in the vertical direction! But I should make certain. That would be the right thing to do. *firmnod*

When I calculated the yoke I took my upper bust measurement.
By making front and back a different width and designing for the upper bust (at armpit height) I take my boobs out of the calculation for the shoulder / yoke section and then adding the necessary room later on makes for a nice fit from top to bottom.
For more fitted garments I'd decrease part of that extra width below the underbust, but here I was going for roomy and comfort.
