Instant gauge math for knitters! Three easy-to-use options: Adjust a Pattern (Free) — Converts stitch and row counts from the pattern's gauge to your new gauge. Takes repeating patterns into account if you wish. Test My Gauge (One time unlock) — Tells you exactly how much bigger or smaller the project will be if you just knit it as written, but in a different gauge. Work from Measurements (One time unlock) — Effortless calculations of stitch and row counts from finished measurements. Takes repeating patterns into account if you wish. Calculations are saved for you to view or edit at any time. Start a fresh set of calculations by tapping on the calculation type you want. Knittrick works in inches or centimeters and happily handles repeating patterns which require whole repeats of any stitch or row count. The ultimate knitting notion. *** I am an avid knitter myself and have designed this app from the ground up to be as useful as possible. Please email me with any questions!

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.
