Knit2 is a row and stitch counter made for knitting. Just tap the big buttons on the landscape screen to count, so you can keep your eyes on your work. Your pattern and notes can sit on the same screen, so there is no need to switch apps. Easy row and stitch counting • Count rows and stitches separately, up or down by 1, 2, 5 or 10. • Auto row count: set the number of stitches in a row, and the row count goes up by one when you reach it. • Enter the total number of rows to see your progress, and get a message when you finish the last row. • Two custom counters. Give them names and use them for pattern repeats, increases, decreases and more. Your pattern and notes, always at hand • Save a pattern image for each project from the camera, your photo library or a screenshot. Pinch to zoom in on the details. • Write notes for each project, such as the yarn, needles and stitch instructions. • Picture-in-picture: show the image or note in a small window on the counter screen. Move and resize it with your finger. Make it yours • Choose a count button design, or use your favorite photo as the button. • Four background colors, with adjustable depth. • Turn the count sound on or off. • Keep the screen awake while you knit. Manage several projects • Counts, images, notes and settings are saved for each project. Switch between them from the list. Available in English and Japanese. We'd love to hear from you.
