A Supporting System for Colored Knitting Design

Abstract

Knitting is a kind of art work and it is not so easy for knitting beginners to construct a work that they would design. Thus knitting requires that designers have some artistic sense and technical knowledge. Until now we had already proposed the supporting system for knitting design. It can change simple designed figures into pattern-knitting diagrams by using changing rules, and it supplies designers complete CG images of knitting that they have designed. Generally designers use various colored strings to knit, however the system could deal with only monochromatic knitting patterns.
In this paper, we have developed new version of the system and would propose a method for colored knitting design. The new version supplies the CG images of colored knitting design and can support many designers to use colored strings to knit.
