10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
Knitter 0.5.1 is such a professionally designed and user- friendly program for producing and visualizing three-dimensional models of knitting patterns. It uses wxWidgets for a GUI and has been tested on Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX. It should run on any platform that has a wxWidgets port.The program takes in a knitting pattern (expressed very similarly to traditional patterns, but without ambiguities) and produces a three-dimensional model. You can't tell from the screenshots below, but you can actually rotate that model around and zoom in and out using the mouse. Also, those little red spheres are stitches. The red lines going between stitches represent yarn, or at least "connectedness" of stitches. For lines going left and right, the lines would actually be yarn connecting the previous and next stitches. Lines up and down represent loops in the yarn that connect stitches in different rows. They aren't actually drawing the stitches quite yet (we will in a future version), but this lattice structure should accurately represent the structure of a real project using the same instructions.One of the goals of this project is to support KnitML as an upcoming standard for exchanging knitting patterns. The current version of Knitter does not support all aspects of KnitML, but it is capable of basic functionality, with support for more complex contructs coming later.Major Features:Supports KnitMLUnderstands standard patterns with minimal modificationEasily customizable library of standard stitchesView, rotate, and stretch the fabric with an easy to use GUIEnhancements:The next version is out with several bugfixes. For one, hitting the 'Erase Pattern' button and then importing a new pattern will not slow the simulation down like it did before. Also, the simulation stability has been significantly improved, and the mass and size of the simulation nodes is now configurable through the GUI. There are also a few fixes for single-precision ODE and reduced-depth z-buffers.Requirements:32-bit MS Windows (NT/2000/XP)
