Kim's Knitting Counter

About Kim's Knitting Counter Android App

This simple app helps you keep track of which row you are on as you knit your project (in the real world). Set up your project by entering the number of rows in the pattern and the number of times to repeat the pattern for the project. Then, as you complete each row, tap to advance the row number, etc. Surely this would never happen, but just in case... if you ever make a mistake and need to “tink” or “frog” (in the real world), you can also retreat on the app, too. Happy knitting!

Instructions:

Set up is fairly self-explanatory. Simply enter the row and repeat values for your project, then tap “Start Counting”. Current Row, Current Repeat, (and when in portrait mode) Remaining Rows, and Remaining Repeats are displayed. Over-sized numbers double as counting buttons. Row and repeat counters are linked together, but you can advance (by tapping current numbers) and retreat (by tapping remaining numbers) by row or by repeat. Whichever number button you tap increases and other counters adjust accordingly.

Try switching between portrait and landscape modes. In landscape mode, current counters are even larger and remaining counters are not displayed, but the hardware “Back” button may still be used to retreat the row count, if necessary. When you get to the final row of the project, you will be given an option to take a picture of your finished project!

To exit the app while counting, either tap the hardware “Menu” button, then tap “Stop this application”, or tap “Project Menu” then tap the hardware “Back” button. Your project (number of rows and repeats) and your place (current row and current repeat) are always saved before you exit. So when you return from an extended break, you’ll have the option to resume your project where you left off or set up a new project.

Additionally, a never-ending project can be set up by entering “0” repeats. This allows the pattern to be repeated indefinitely. Since repeat counters are not needed in this mode, row counters are even bigger!

Finally, you’ll see a small timer at the bottom of the screen. This may be the only knitting counter app in the universe with this feature. Ever wonder after a few stitches whether you tapped the advance button or not? Hopefully by displaying time elapsed since the last tap, you can determine whether or not you did! (If not, kindly just ignore it.)
