Countdown to Knitmas - Day 17

If you like are like me, you have your smart phone on hand all the time. Today I want to share with you how to put your phone to good use, and we'll see how it can help your with your knitting and crocheting.

iOS Apps

Knit Counter Lite

"Knit Counter Lite allows you to create as many counters as you like and all counters are highly customizable. You can choose the name, the starting value and even link counters together, so one counter increments another. There's also an info screen for noting down the pattern name, yarn and needles used, or any other information related to the project."






Knit Companion

"Are you flipping around your pattern to find the info you need? Is your key on page 3 and instructions on page 10? To knit a row are you following multiple instructions spread across pages, or split between charts and written instructions? Are your charts split up so you have to track your row on several separate charts at once? Do you have scribbles and hash marks on scraps, in notebooks, or scattered across your PDF reader and several other counters?

knitCompanion® solves these challenges making it easy to follow the simplest to most complex patterns easily. NO MORE FLIPPING! Keys, Counters, Reminders and other critical information is at your fingertips at all times, no matter what part of the pattern you are knitting from."

Yarma

"Yarma is a camera app with a direct interface to Ravelry - the largest on-line knitting & crochet community. Take pictures, apply filters to finesse your image and upload direct to a Ravelry project or your Ravelry stash. Additionally, pictures can be saved to your film roll or uploaded to Flickr. Yarma makes it simple to take great photos of your latest work in progress or finished project and share with your Ravelry friends."






Gaugefy Free (Also available on Google Play!)

"Calculate your knitting/crochet gauge with Gaugefy! 

Gaugefy helps you calculate your gauge easily. It also helps you:
★Adjust your gauge - for the pattern you are working with
★Calculate your end goals -

- How many repeats do you need to get certain length or number of stitches? 

Gaugefy helps you with it all."

Knitting Buddy has a row counter, repeat counter, project timer, notes pages, ruler, a flashlight, and it even displays your knitting pattern on the row counter page (great for lace)!
