====== Creating new patterns ======
  * Prepare your graphic as a two-color bitmap and note the pixel dimensions.
  * Remember that stitches in knitting are not square, so you may want to squish your graphic horizontally just a bit before lowering its resolution.
  * You're going to then create a blank "container" pattern of the appropriate dimensions using the knitting machine control panel.
  * Press INPUT (01_press_INPUT.jpg)
  * Note the pattern number that appears. User-input patterns get assigned a number in ascending order starting at 901. (02_note_pattern_number.jpg)
  * Press STEP (03_press_STEP.jpg)
  * Enter your pattern's width (number of stitches), then press STEP (04_enter_number_of_stitches.jpg)
  * The number of available rows in the machine's memory will appear on the display. Press CE to clear the display. (04_remaining_available_rows_display.jpg)
  * Enter the pattern's height (number of rows) and press STEP. (05_enter_number_of_rows.jpg)
  * Press INPUT once more to exit input mode.
  * Repeat for as many patterns as you'd like to create (and for which you have space).
