Knitting apps
Every day I'm an awe at the specificity of some of the apps released in the iTunes store, catering to special interests, beliefs or professions. Today these caught my eye: Apps for those passionate about knitting.
KnittyBag: An electronic version of your knitting needle bag. The program helps you to track the sizes, lengths, and materials of your needles straight, double pointed, circular, and crochet.
Knitting Yarn Calculator is a tool for knitters. It helps you determine how much yarn you will need to buy to make a standard drop sleeve sweater based on the gauge and measurements that you enter. You enter your desired chest measurement, your stitch gauge and hit the calculate button. It will display how much yarn you need to make that size sweater.
iKnit Needle Sizer takes the place of a standard needle gauge to find the size of a knitting needle or crochet hook.
StitchMinder is a stitch counting utility application. The program provides four customizable counters that can be used to track rows completed, pattern rows, increases, and decreases.
