Valentina Project allows us to create custom-fit measurements for knit clothes.
[ ] Use an export option like the SVG export of valentina, to generate a file that can be rasterized to knit meshes using the gauge (measurement of how big a instruction is)
[ ] create an issue that the kniteditor should load this
[ ] create a tutorial video on how to export this file
[ ] create a video where the kniteditor loads the file
user imports a Valentina layout SVG file (generated in Valentina)
user selects stitch type, yarn size, colors, stitch gauge
program calculates the number of rows and the stitches per row for each pattern piece as the 'base knit pattern'
program displays pattern pieces with 'base knit pattern'
Optional - 5. Add images
5a. user places image(s) on pattern piece(s)
5b. user selects scale, repeat, colors, stitch types, etc.
5c. program calculates stitches for images
5d. program replaces stitches in the 'base knit pattern' with image stitches
B. Re-using an AYAB 'knit XML' file
user selects an SVG layout file from same Valentina pattern as above but in a different size
user selects the same 'knit XML' file as above
program calculates and displays 'base knit pattern' with 'images' for each pattern piece
user can make adjustments to 'base knit pattern' (stitch type, yarn, color, gauge)
user can make adjustments to 'images' (image, placement, scale, repeat, colors, stitch type)
C. Creating an AYAB 'knit instructions' file
user saves 'knit XML' file
user selects to create 'knit instructions' file
user selects choice of 'machine' or 'hand knitting' format
program converts 'knit XML' file into 'knit instructions' file
user saves 'knit instructions' file
user sends 'knit instructions' file to knitting machine or to printer
