What's New in Cast Along

1.5.0

September 21, 2026

New - Yarn Sub, a new calculator for checking a substitute yarn. Enter the yarn your pattern calls for and the one you are thinking of using, and it checks weight and gauge as well as fibre and drape, and explains in plain language how the fabric will differ or match. It works out exact skein counts based on how much yarn your pattern needs, handles yarns held double on either side, and lets you save a comparison to a project or your notes, or share it with a friend for a second opinion. - Project cards now show more at a glance. Each card lists its counters and saved calculations, and how long you have spent knitting the project, so you can see where things stand without opening it. Fixed - Increase and Decrease Spacing no longer splits a run that is too short to split, and never tells you to work zero stitches.

Outstanding app

I just realize I need bust darts. No wonder my sweaters never fit well. Fabulous app for this. Looking forward to using more of the app!

Response from developer

Hope you get a better fit with them now! 💜

Love this app!

As a newer knitter, this app has been the answer I’ve been looking for to help with so many things! I have never used the recommended yarn for patterns I’ve followed, and figuring out how much yarn to buy and how to adjust for gauge and yarn weight differences used to take hours, and was often incorrect. I am now not nearly as worried about using a “wrong” yarn, the calculations have been spot on. I can’t say enough good things about this app, and every time I open it there are new features waiting for me to try.

So happy to hear the app has been able to help you so much. Stay tuned for a big new launch for yarns very soon 🤗

Love The Gauge Checkers

I live the Swatch Checker & Size Finder, I’ve been using it non-stop for fall knitting gauge swatches. I really like the recommendation of needles size in the Swatch Checker if my gauge is off. I also appreciate that both gauge checkers tell you how much you are off, both % & whether that is tight or loose.

Love hearing those 2 calculators have been so helpful for you! 💜

Everything I’ve wanted

Truly near everything I’ve ever wanted from all the knitting counter apps I’ve tried. This guys got no ads, doesn’t have a subscription model yet, and the combination of work calculators while also being primarily for counters is amazing. I only wish I had a way to attach a pdf with markup abilities to my counters for my pattern. Take that as a new idea and not a dig, This app is great and has a ton of potential. Something I might actually be willing to pay for which is rare! Thanks to this team of devs for your work. Something I’ve always wanted to make but never got around to.

This made our day! Thanks so much for the positive feedback and the suggestion on attaching PDFs. Those are on the roadmap and will be coming in the near future, so stay tuned. 💜

Best app

I have been so pleased with this app. It is extremely helpful especially with the new timer feature. I can’t wait to see what features are added and it has become the only knitting app I use now.

Response from developer

Love to hear this, Melissa! Thanks so much for being an early tester 💜
