What would the best software program for custom knitting patterns?

I am interested in buying a custom knitting program so I can create my own patterns as I have some design ideas, and I have not been able to find what I want to create already designed. Any suggestions, and where to find the software, in stores or online?

1. Knitware is a pattern design program which allows you to choose the design features and provides a schematic and pattern. You can get it at : http://www.greatknitdesigns.com/
2. It depends on what you are making. There is a Sweater Wizard that is very good. I have seen a few on-line programs that are pretty good too. There are some free ones for hats. I think there are some for socks, but I haven't used them since I can design my own. I think if you google "____ generator", you will be able to find what you need.
