Spool vs RowKept

Made to support the creative process from cast on to cast off. Spool was built by a knitter who was tired of scribbling row counts on PDFs, circling sizes in every step, and constantly losing track of progress within patterns. Upload your knitting pattern, create a project, and work through it step-by-step, section-by-section — just hit 'Next Row' and keep knitting. Anywhere there's a repeat, there's a built-in row counter integrated with the full project. Size-specific instructions, stitch counts, and repeat tracking are all handled. See all your WIPs in one place, track your knitting hours, and finally put that yarn stash to work. FEATURES Step-by-step interactive patterns — work through your project row by row, with built-in row counters & repeat tracking and your size pulled through to every step Colorwork & cable charts — your pattern charts directly in the app. Customize colorwork with your actual yarn colors, and track your place with automatic highlighting on your current row Knitworthy: add your measurements (and those of the people you knit for), all that data in one place — plus we'll recommend a size based on the project's recommended ease Standalone row counter — for quick projects and one-off needs Materials: Needles and Yarn Stash — catalog your yarn and materials so you can finally utilize that stash Yarn substitutions: want to use a different yarn than the recommended?
