How can I design my own knitwear?

Hi I've been knitting for about a year now and I feel ready to design my own knitted clothing. Can you tell me of any good books, websites etc that will help me with getting started out. Thank you and merry Christmas!

How can I design my own knitwear?
There's lots of knitting design software out there. It's helpful if, like me, you're not good with math; otherwise, once you're familiar with how to assemble clothing, read patterns, and can calculate gauge, it's not too hard to do on your own. I'd find a basic pattern for whatever you're making and alter at will--a lot of good designs come out of just changing a stitch pattern, adding cables, or what have you. Really, though, it's just familiarity with the process--and the dreaded gauge!
Reply:use graph paper a stitch per square copy one a pattern you have this should then give you some dimensions good luck
Reply:Get a pen and some paper and just start doodling! Something will spring out at you eventually.
