When stitches might look the same I color code (lemmy.nz)

Sometimes a pattern is hard to read at a glance when you are in the middle of juggling five needles while knitting in the round.

So I color code it.

This will be for a pair of socks.

The pattern comes from the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible. If you haven't heard of it before you should definitely check it out. Super dense, it uses about 130 different stitches and hundreds of patterns. This pattern is one of the easy ones.

My library uses overdrive, and I have been able to take screenshots of books opened in the default web browser application on computer or phone. I've also been able to screenshot in the kindle app on my phone before, but haven't tried that in a few years.

Cool beans.. I was wondering if there was some kind of DRM on there that would prevent you from doing that because I would hate to have to redraw a pattern like this from scratch.
