The KnitML Project's main goal is to develop and promote adoption of a standard content model for knitting patterns. By developing a community-supported specification (KnitML) and providing basic rendering and transformation tools, the KnitML Project aims to make KnitML easy to use and valuable to the knitter.

Now all I need is some sort of machine that I can feed this pattern to and I'll be able to knit at the press of a button, instead of sitting there for hours.
