microRevolt offers an awesome free program called knitPro which translates any high resolution image into a graph for you to create your custom designed knitwear.

The reason the program is freely available is to encourage a little political monkeywrenching. The idea being that you can easily create a pattern using the logo of a large company that uses sweatshop labour, such as Nike, and knit up your own subversive jumper.

Or you could just run vintage fabric swatches, cartoons, or the kid's photographs and drawings through the program and create your own amazing and unique gifts for the family.
