Photoshop your knitting

And you thought Photoshop was just for photos!

In her blog, Modeknit/Knitting Heretic, Annie Modesitt presents a short video that explains how she uses Photoshop and a gauge swatch to create a sketch of the final project before she makes it. I think she uses it mostly to flesh out her ideas for her own designs, but I bet it would be very useful for us non-pattern-writing types who want to see what a particular color combination or stitch sequence will look like on an already-written pattern.
