I just deleted that particular if-statement so you should be able to export.

It's not anything fancy, but gets the job done. Uses pdf-lib.

Why? Many yarncrafters painstakingly build spreadsheets, or try to bend existing general purpose pixel editors to their will. It's time consuming & frustrating.

Along the way, I've solved a bunch of problems:

  - Automatic decreases (shapes the hat) / overstitching markers (shows when multiple colors are used in the same row)
  - Parameterized designs, like waves, trees, geometric shapes. No more manually moving an object by a couple of pixels, it's a simple click & drag.
  - Color palette merging (can't delete a color if you already use it in a pattern!)
  - Export to PDF (so you can print it or stick it on a tablet)
  - Repeat previews (visualize the pattern as it repeats horizontally)

If you drag a shape near the right edge of the canvas, you'll see it "wrapping around" onto the right edge.

This reflects the 3D reality of a hat!

After hiking, take a very close look at all of your body parts and remove any ticks. You can bag them and send them off to a lab for testing as well.

I've known multiple Lyme's sufferers. You do not want this.

There's something special about seeing the craters with your own eyes and then sharing that with friends. The framing & cropping, zoom, color of the sky are all unique to that experience.

Plus the moon is always looking slightly different each time, with different areas shadowed; fuzzy details one day are sharp the next.

And it's a skill like any other, which feels great to improve day after day.

Is it like, "this looks like a billing feature, let me run any tests that seem relevant"?

It sounded like perhaps this post would have conveyed a message the author didn't think constructive if they wrote it entirely themselves

I've also been thinking about what constitutes a "good" encoding, and it definitely comes down to individual preferences, even preferences in a given moment. Today you're reading off a sticky-note and want to optimize for size, tomorrow you're laying out 3 notebooks for a huge project and want clarity.

I like the idea of a creator making the base pattern, and then sharing a link that lets the user customize the output encoding.

That customization could be visual (I want a different random seed that is used to parameterize different aspects of this pattern, so it's totally unique to me) or in the notation.

I think it'd be awesome to have a recursive notation editor. So you'd click on a variable and it expands to the verbose representation, which might include other nested variables that you can further expand (or not).

(side note, I hope you don't mind: Game Programming Patterns made a huge difference for me early in my career, thank you for bringing that into the world.)

Interested to know if you've ever tried something like that? I also get that knitting is a hobby many people do to escape computers for a minute.

Anyways, that got me into approaching the problem from a different angle (https://madhatter.app). A visual editor for hat patterns with layering, repeats, shapes, overstitching markers.

Some stuff is broken right now and it doesn't look great on mobile, but I'm building it in real time whenever my partner expresses frustration in some aspect of existing paid software ;-)

This is false. SSE is not supported on many proxies, and isn't even supported on some common local proxy tooling.

Is there no public demo?

Have you considered if you might have ADD[0]?

I know someone with identical experiences and this was the root cause. Having the diagnosis was life changing.

The ones in his book are far higher quality. Too bad I can't nail the book to my wall..

Every page is filled with these georgeous, highly detailed pictures, and a running commentary from the astronauts or author.

You won't be disappointed.
