This was an ‘open forum’ meeting, but, as only one demonstration was requested, everybody who attended was given a demonstration of the various software available for pattern making.

Software shown was:

Knitware

Designaknit

Garment Designer

and a look at the Knit it Now website

Questions raised were about pricing, which software might work on the Mac platform [only Garment Designer is available, apart from using e.g. Parallels to run Windows] and availability [Knitware being currently unavailable].

Also mentioned was SweaterMaker [Seedling Software] which is still available and moderately priced.
