Knit The Chart
Read full descriptionHide full description
Knit The Chart brings together everything you need when knitting from a chart: following your pattern, making your own charts, and keeping track of your own changes. All in one calm app, with nothing to distract you. COUNTING WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PLACE The app holds your place, so you can focus on your knitting. The active row is clearly marked and the app dims the rest for you. You count row by row with a large minus and plus button, and you never lose count. Put your work down, and when you pick it up you are exactly where you left off. DRAW YOUR OWN CHARTS The full version includes the creator: draw your own charts with colours, stitch symbols and your own legend. Start with an empty grid, or import a photo or PDF as your base. Fill in square by square, draw straight lines, fill areas in one go, and rotate, copy or mirror whole sections. Pick up colours with the eyedropper, swap two colours throughout your drawing, and save your favourites. Add note lines and text to your drawing to mark sizes. And enter your gauge from your swatch, so your drawing takes on the proportions of your real knitting instead of square boxes. You keep your drawing in your library and use it like any other chart, or print it to PDF. SEVERAL CHARTS IN STUDIO Does your pattern consist of more than one chart? In Studio you bring them together in the right knitting order. For each chart you set the knitting direction, the repeats, the stitch counting and the display. While knitting you swipe from one to the next. STRAIGHTFORWARD, EVEN IF YOU KNIT FROM PAPER Do you normally work from a paper pattern? Knit The Chart is built to be easy to start with. Ten tutorials take you through it step by step, and on every screen the question mark gives you an explanation that fits what you are doing at that moment. ALWAYS WITH YOU The app works on iPad and iPhone, with clear screens. That way your knitting goes everywhere with you. WHAT THE APP DOES FOR YOU Creator - draw your own charts, with colours, stitch symbols and your own legend PDF and photo - add your pattern as a PDF or as a photo of a paper chart PDF reader - read your pattern in a built-in PDF reader, make annotations, use a reading ruler and add counters Automatic stitch recognition - the app recognises the stitches in your chart and counts the runs for you Row by row counting - a large minus and plus button, and the app marks your active row Repeats - set a repeat area and the app counts the repeats for you Separate row counters - add extra counters that follow your chart or stand on their own Reminders - set a reminder in a counter, so you never miss a step Markers - place your own markers and colours on the spots you want to remember Straightening - rotate a crooked photo until it sits square, accurate to 0.1 degree Gauge - enter what you counted on your swatch, and your drawing takes on the proportions of your real knitting Notes - separate notes per project, and note lines with text on the chart itself Pan through wide patterns with the scroll buttons Available in Dutch and English FREE AND FULL VERSION You start free with one project.
