KNIT ONE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
KNIT ONE provides facilities for entering, saving, and modifying
project descriptions and knitting instructions, and displaying or
printing the entered instructions adjusted for different gauges
or sizes. In addition to translating gauges and sizes, KNIT ONE
automatically translates measurements in inches into rows; an
especially useful feature for machine knitters.
KNIT ONE maintains one or more FOLDERS (directories) of PROJECTS.
A Folder typically contains all of the PROJECTS for one knitter,
although very prolific knitters might want to group PROJECTS
under more complex filing systems.
For each PROJECT the knitter enters:
o A description of the project for filing purposes
o Notes about the project, such as needle sizes, colors,
etc.
o A summary of original and new gauge information
o A list of the original sizes described in the pattern
o The final desired size (which does not have to be in the
original list)
o The knitting instructions for each part.
The instructions for each part are typed as printed in the
original source; some minor variations are required to control
adjustments KNIT ONE makes. As the pattern is typed, KNIT ONE
adjusts it and displays the adjusted pattern to the right of the
original line. (On a Macintosh, the user can choose to show the
original and adjusted patterns side by side or one above the
other.) KNIT ONE includes complete word processor-like editing
facilities, including insert and delete lines, insert and delete
characters, word wrapping, and split and join lines. When all
the instructions have been entered, the adjusted instructions may
be printed.
THE KNIT ONE PROGRAM
The KNIT ONE program is used to enter projects into your computer
to be adjusted. Once entered, projects may be saved, modified,
and reprinted. A project may be entered all at once, or a little
at a time as your time permits. KNIT ONE saves your work as you
go.
Extensive HELP information is available at any time in the KNIT
ONE program. Simply press the HELP key on your PC keyboard (or
open the HELP window on your Macintosh) to display detailed
instructions on the item you are currently entering.
THE KNIT ONE USER'S MANUAL
The KNIT ONE User's Manual contains complete instructions for
starting your system, loading KNIT ONE, and entering projects to
be adjusted. The manual assumes that you know nothing about
computers; it prompts you through all steps from turning on the
computer to printing your adjusted project instructions.
THE KNIT ONE GUARANTEE
KNIT ONE comes with a 30 day unconditional return privilege. If
KNIT ONE does not meet your needs or expectations, you may return
it for a full refund.
WHAT YOU GET
KNIT ONE comes with the KNIT ONE program diskette and the KNIT
ONE User's Manual. Two projects are included on the program
diskette; a SAMPLE project that demonstrates how projects are
entered, and a MITTENS project that can be used to knit a pair of
mittens in a wide range of and yarns and sizes, infant to adult.
