I am looking for recommendations re: Macintosh software that
works well for creating knitting patterns and weaving drafts.
Any information would be much appreciated.

This doesn't answer the question exactly, but... I recently saw a demo (don't remember author's name or product) that involved interfacing an electronic knitting machine with an Amiga. Initially, the whole project started by having knitting patterns designed with Deluxe Paint. supposedly, there is a book coming out on designing knitting patterns with Deluxe Paint (although most likely Amiga specific, it should apply to ports of Deluxe Paint on other machines, or other paint programs). After getting tired of transferring the pattern manually from the screen to the electronic knitter, the Author got a friend of hers to hack some software and hardware to do this automatically. It even beeps at you when it is time to change yarn color. The author, who knits professionally, is able to quickly generate a new pattern and create a swatch to take to clients, as well as expirement with the client nearby.
