Counterpane: Knitting Counter

If you knit or crochet, you're going to want to use Counterpane. Of course, Counterpane is a row counter, but it's so much more. Keep track of counts by screen tap or by using the volume keys. Counterpane writes down every tap the moment you make it, so rotating the phone, taking a call or letting the battery go flat changes nothing. The number is where you left it. The number is also BIG. You can read it from the other end of the sofa without leaning in, and hit the plus without looking away from your hands. By default, a successful touch buzzes to let you know the touch was counted. you can also choose a tone confirmation or even a voice which will state the number out loud, in 6 different languages. Keep as many counters on a project as the pattern asks for. Let one feed another, so a repeat counts itself. Tell it that the neck shaping starts on row 148 and it will tell you so when you get there. The screen stays awake while you count, because nobody wants to wake a phone with a needle between their teeth. Counterpane tracks what you're making. The pattern, the yarn, the needle, the size you made, the tension you got. Photographs as it grows and the day it comes off the needles. Room for the note about the sleeve you did differently, because in eight months you will want that note. A project can be planned, on the go, hibernating, finished or frogged. The cardigan in the bag at the back of the cupboard is hibernating, and it still has your yarn in it. Counterpane not only counts that yarn as spoken for, it remembers the exact yarn, including lot number, if you've provided it. Your stash goes in with its weight, fibre, colourway and dye lot. Search it standing in the shop, before you buy a sixth skein of something already at home in a box. Say which yarn a project is using and you can see what is spoken for and what is spare. Frog the project and the yarn comes back. Needles, hooks and notions live in Counterpane too, with sizes in mm, US and UK, so you can stop looking up what a 4 mm is. Bring in the pattern PDFs you already own and read them beside the counter. Counterpane also includes some calculation tools. How many stitches to cast on, worked out from your own swatch. Whether the yarn in your hand is enough for the thing you want to make. How much is left in a ball you have put on the kitchen scales. Needle and hook conversions. UK and US crochet terms side by side. Counterpane runs on your phone but doesn't require an account or signal. It works wherever you go... on the bus and in a cottage with one bar of reception. You can export everything as a spreadsheet or a single file whenever you like, free, for as long as you use the app. We also know your projects are important to you, so we include an automatic backup function. Keep dated backups on the phone and copy them periodically to your computer or cloud storage account for safe keeping. Make it your own by choosing from a variety of light or dark colour schemes, or choose what's already on your phone. Counterpane is free for fourteen days with everything switched on. After that, one payment and it is yours. Anything you have already written stays readable and exportable whatever you decide.
