knit-script

KnitScript is a domain-specific programming language for writing V-bed knitting machine instructions. The language is loosely based on conventions from Python 3 but includes support for controlling a knitting machine. The code is interpreted into knitout which can then be processed into instructions for different types of knitting machines.

🧶 Overview

KnitScript is a domain-specific programming language designed to make knitting machine programming accessible and intuitive. While traditional knitout requires low-level instruction management, KnitScript provides:

• High-level abstractions for common knitting patterns

• Automatic optimization of needle operations and carriage passes

• Python-like syntax familiar to programmers

• Multi-sheet support for complex fabric structures

• Comprehensive error handling with detailed diagnostics

The language compiles to standard knitout format, making it compatible with any machine that supports the knitout specification.
