A system for authoring knitting, crocheting, weaving patterns and other fiber arts patterns, and for converting those patterns into stepwise voice and visual instructions comprising a hardware architecture and modular software including a database of predefined stitch objects each corresponding to a stitching step or sequence. Each stitch object is linked in the database to a sound bite enunciating that stitch step and to a graphic illustration depicting that stitch step with a written explanation. The software includes an authoring module with a pattern compilation user-interface that allows a user to construct a complete pattern by selecting knitting commands from a menu of predefined commands in the database. Once constructed, the pattern is loaded into a playback module which employs an enunciation engine that speaks the complete pattern step-by-step and a playback user interface that displays a visual depiction and description of each step all at a user defined pace.
