I really need to stop playing with this knitting thing, and get back to doing games!

Yesterday's new knit feature was Garter Stitch.
I was unsure of the best way to tackle the stitch, since the stitches go horizontally, whilst my engine usually draws vertically.
After attempting to recode a ton of the stitching functionality, I eventually gave up, did a massive load of Undo'ing, and instead simply tweaked the vertical stitches' co-ordinates to look horizontal.

It's a cheat, and if I continue to add complexity to the knitter, it's exactly the sort of cheat that'll come back to haunt me, so I had to be absolutely certain that that was the method I wanted to use.

For test purposes, I've implemented a quick test method of mixed-stitch types, and you can see the horizontal and vertical stitches mixing in here.

If you look towards the right hand side of Wooloo, you can see where the cheat takes over, and the two knit types end up clashing with each other.
Not a good look.

I need to do some more "staring at Macro pictures of knitting" in order to figure out exactly what that should look like.
