QUILT: Supporting Modular Design of Machine-Knitting Programs
summary
QUILT is a tool built on Knitout and KnitScript that turns complete knit programs into reusable swatches, stores courses/wales and carriage passes, and stitches them together using three concrete merge algorithms: horizontal, vertical, and full-quilt merging. It models boundaries as entrance/exit pairs, finds pairings with a bipartite graph and an optimization that minimizes course misalignment and yarn disturbances, preserves original instruction order, and produces real, seamless knitted quilts and a handbag that validate the approach.
