Skeinwell

Description

Skeinwell keeps your place while your hands stay busy.

Count Your Way

Tap anywhere on the big number, press space on an iPad keyboard, or just say "next". Voice counting uses on-device speech recognition, so nothing you say leaves your phone. Haptics tell you something happened without looking.

Counters That Talk to Each Other

Add as many counters as a project needs. Link them: "repeat 8 rows, 12 times" gives you a repeat counter that moves by itself every eighth row; "increase every 6th row, 10 times" buzzes and shows a banner on the right row. Type the instruction the way a pattern writes it and Skeinwell builds the counters.

Follow Your Own Chart

Open a photo, screenshot or PDF of a chart you own. Skeinwell reads the row numbers in the margin on your device, then slides a highlighter band down the chart as you count. Charts that repeat start again at row 1 automatically. If the numbers cannot be read, drag two lines to align it yourself.

Yarn That Knows Its Length

Log yarn in your stash once. Put a skein on a kitchen scale and Skeinwell turns grams into yards from the label. Reserve yarn for a piece and see a straight answer: enough, or short by how many yards, based on the rows you have done and the rows to go.

Calculators with the Workings Shown

Gauge to cast-on counts, pattern stitch counts adjusted to your own tension, yardage from a weighed swatch, a pattern's yardage rescaled to your gauge, and an even-shaping planner that spreads increases or decreases across a round.

See Where the Project Is Going

A timeline of notes, photos, goals reached and timed work sessions. A pace chart and a finish-date forecast that gets better as you knit. Turn any project into a share card.
