Knitting Patterns Lite vs Yarnventory

(NOTE: This free trial version is fully functional, but has a maximum of 10 Patterns) Have you ever tried going on a shopping spree for new yarn (in physical stores or online), only to feel completely lost by not knowing exactly how you would use that nice-looking skein of yarn, and end up purchasing the wrong thing - or purchasing the right thing, but in the wrong quantity - or worse, still: Leaving empty-handed? If your answer is "yes", then Knitting Patterns will be your indispensable companion in the future. The inspiration in the form of your pattern library is right at your fingertips, wherever you go, and you can easily make sure that you purchase the right yarn in the right quantity - and with the right accessories. The app also helps you find inspiration on how to best make use of your current stash of yarn. The app lets you gain the perfect overview in a single place, whether your patterns are purchased, found in magazines, or your own creations entirely. You can categorize your patterns based from standard garment types, or create as many of your own categories as you like. You can have your patterns sorted alphabetically, by most recent usage, or in any particular order you like. Each pattern can be associated with as many categories as you wish. It is entirely up to you how many details you want to register for your individual patterns, but the more details you supply, the more help you will find in the built-in filtering function. When browsing your patterns, only the filled-in information is shown, so you won't have to deal with lots of empty fields. Using the camera, you can supply your pattern details with pictures or PDF files of the model, the instructions, or perhaps of the finalized garments. You can add as many attachments as you like, both for your categories, your patterns, and your yarns. Use the Filter function if you need to search for a specific pattern in your pattern library, or just need inspiration for your next project, based on a specific yarn. In all aspects, Knitting Patterns is an indispensable app, for the experienced knitter/crocheter and the newcomer alike!

Your yarn stash shouldn't be a mystery. Yarnventory helps crocheters and knitters keep track of their yarn, patterns, projects, and works-in-progress — all in one organized place. KNOW WHAT YARN YOU HAVE Build a searchable yarn inventory with the details that actually matter, including brand, color, weight, fiber, quantity, dye lot, hook and needle sizes, price, store, care instructions, and more. Add a photo to make yarn easy to recognize at a glance. KNOW WHERE YOU PUT IT Have yarn spread across bins, bags, shelves, and rooms? Save storage locations so you can find the yarn you need without digging through your entire stash. KEEP YOUR PROJECTS ORGANIZED Create projects and track whether they're active, paused, or completed. Connect projects to the yarn and patterns you're using, add notes, record storage locations, and quickly see what you're currently working on. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Built-in row and stitch counters help you keep your place while you crochet or knit. Yarnventory also remembers when you last worked on a project, making it easier to return to a WIP after time away. ORGANIZE YOUR PATTERNS Save patterns you want to make, add photos and notes, mark favorites, rate patterns, track their status, and connect them directly to your projects. FIND YOUR STASH FAST Search and filter your yarn instead of scrolling through everything you own. Find yarn by details such as name, brand, color, fiber, quantity, or favorites. KEEP EVERYTHING CONNECTED Yarnventory isn't just a list of yarn. Your stash, patterns, and projects work together so you can see what you own and what you're using it for.
