can anyone who’s ever used a woolmi generated pattern let me know how it went? i tried to look up reviews but the one reddit thread i found the person was like, “does this work?” and people were just like, that place only has one pattern and it looks boring try these OTHER pattern creator sites.

but like. to be clear i don’t care that woolmi doesn’t generate a wide range of styles i want a v-neck top down raglan sleeve sweater pattern written to be knit in the round. i just wanna know if the formula they’re using to generate the pattern works well because i’m atypical in size (mainly, i’m very short but with wide-ish bust and proportionately quite wide upper arms) and i’m hesitant to start a completely untested pattern.

I have been looking for this one for ages - also used it once upon a time, then lost the source.

Bellish also got recced, and I have the app, but the website has closed down.
