What design capabilities do you want in software, and how important is the
learning curve?

I assume that means knitting? Why don't you just scour the finished
item and then pin it out?

Hi
I have been using Designaknit for many years and find it excellent.
I also use a Domena steamer which works well with knitwear
Kind Regards

I've been using Knitwear Sweaters for sweater software. It's very easy to
learn. I've recently starting using Deisng-A-Knit, but find that the
learning curve is much steeper and is't not as intuitive as the other.

Good heavens, knitted items are always gently washed, only when you want
to full something does the word Rough apply
