YouKnits designer

Although the YouKnits designer is far from perfect (mostly due to my photos), I think its a great tool to help you when you design your personal lace pattern with YouKnits.
So: enjoy :)
Note: You can get the YouKnits designer now as Android app! (see YouKnits designer and YouKnits designer C)

(The YouKnits designer does not work anymore because Adobe discontinued the flash player.)

Frequently asked questions

  • Question: What about property rights?
    Answer:
    By using my patterns you agree to my terms of use which you can find here on my website and in my PDF files.
  • Question: What do I get here?
    Answer:

      Use the YouKnits designer to make lace patterns by simply combining YouKnits to your personal and probably unique pattern.
      When you have finished your personal design, press the button ‘make PDF’ to let generate a PDF file and to save it on your harddisk.
      The file contains:

    1. an overview picture of your personal YouKnits design,
    2. for large patterns a page reference chart (shows which part of the YouKnits distribution chart is printed on which page),
    3. the YouKnits distribution chart (shows the order in which YouKnits have to be worked) and
    4. a list of all the YouKnits you used in your personal pattern with links to the appropriate ravelry pages.

  • Question: There are strange notches when I’m using triangle YouKnits. Is it supposed to look like that?
    Answer:
    Please read the answer in the YouKnits description.
  • Question: You said that YouKnits can be deleted from or copied on the grid and deleted from or reordered on the subset.
    Why doesn’t it work for me?

    Answer:
    Sorry, it’s a bug that we haven’t found yet. But we’re still working on it, hoping that we can fix it.
  • Question: I can’t scroll down to the lowest slide. What can I do?
    Answer:
    How much of the YouKnits designer is shown on the screen depends on the resolution of your computer screen.
    If you don’t get the whole YouKnits designer on the screen, you must work with both scrollbars: the one of the YouKnits designer and the one of your browser window.

    Answer:
    If you have a fast connection it takes approximately 10 seconds.
    Sorry, but it takes its time to load all the pictures of the beautiful Youknit patterns ;-)
  • Question: Why does the YouKnits designer doesn’t work for me?
    Answer:
    I think that you have the wrong Flash Player version, you must use a Flash Player Version 10 or greater.

Oh, you’ve knitted enough shawls and scarves already?
No problem, I thought about what else to knit with the YouKnits and that’s what I came up with:

 

Credits

We lace knitters wouldn’t have a YouKnits designer if RIAmore.eu wouldn’t have helped again (as for the other generators).
It is powered by AS3, Robotlegs, AS3 Signals, MinimalComps and AlivePDF and the font was designed by Yusuke Kamiyamane (Ronda Seven).
Thanks to everybody involved!
