At present, in the fashion domain, the uniform advantage of tatting products have been broken by knitting products which suddenly rise and partly occupy the market, so the situation that knitting products and tatting products occupy the market together begins to form. Because of their own characters of knitting dress or tatting dress, they can not be replaced. But in future, the knitting dress ...

Purl is a language to be used for modular definition and verification of knitting patterns. The syntax is similar to the standard knitting pattern notation provided by the Craft Yarn Council. Purl provides constructs not available in the standard notation to allow reuse of segments of patterns. This report describes the basics of knitting and hand-knitting patterns. A knitting pattern language ...

The purpose of this article is to analyze the psycho-cultural processes involved in knitting "mochilas" (traditional bags), a common craft in the Arhuaco indigenous community located in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. The article is structured in three parts, as follows: first, issues related to child development are discussed; then, the analysis method used to study the processes i...

A knitted animal is made of a closed surface consisting of several knitted patches knitted out of yarn and stuffed with cotton (Fig. 1). We introduce a system to create a knitting pattern from a given 3D surface model (mainly designed for rotund animal models). A knitting pattern is an instructional diagram describing how to knit yarn to obtain a desired shape. Since the creation of knitting pa...

Circular knitting machine makes the fabric with more than two knitting tools. Variation of yarn tension between different knitting tools causes different loop length of stitches duration knitting process. In this research, a new intelligent method is applied to control loop length of stitches in various tools based on ideal shape of stitches and real angle of stitches direction while different ...

This paper suggests an approach to CAD system development based on its creation as a set of programming modules. Some of these modules can be used in next generation of CAD systems or they can be embedded in another CAD software. The main reason to create such project is that it can be used as software application from fashion designers to make boutique collections of knitting products. The pro...

The recent resurgence of knitting is an ambiguous social phenomenon because it has pre-industrial connotations in late modern society. Knitting is inherently an ambiguous practice which blurs the boundary between production and consumption, the material and the mental and subject and object. This paper explores Korean knitting practice from the angle of social practice. An examination of knitti...

This work presents a new highly automated artificial vision inspection (AVI) tool for real-time defect detection and classification on circular knitting machines based on the combination of statistical analysis, Image Processing and Radon Transform. The tool (software + hardware) is directly attached to a circular knitting machine and the inspection is performed on-line. The automatic inspectio...
