This web site was started to revive the out-of-print Sweater Wheels.
It has grown into the largest on-line collection of knitting stitch patterns.
I created a database to hold the information on the Sweater Wheels. That provided the means to
present the
Sweater Wheel information through an interactive web page.
Later I added other simple sweater patterns generators based on the percentages method of
calculating the stitches needed for a sweater.
More recently the focus of the web site has evolved into a presentation forum
for my collection of knitting stitch patterns. Once more I returned to my database know-how
to deconstruct the knitting stitch patterns in manner that could be loaded into a database.
This allowed me to sort and study the knitting stitch patterns. I used this ability to
sort and filter the information to support a web page presentation of the stitch patterns.
I continue to add new patterns to the database and the total is now up to
2122. My focus for the last two years has been
knitting swatches to illustrate as many stitch patterns as possible.
At this time, the acceptance of new memberships to knittingfool.com has been suspended.
It will be re-opened later this year, pending some changes in marketing strategy.
Current memberships continue as agreed.

Sweater Wizard, that provides detailed, customized sweater patterns.
Most of the pages in this website are written in ColdFusion. ColdFusion is a web

database material based on user input; or calculated 'on the fly' based on user input.
