Try the beta on TestFlight See what is inside

The beta is open on TestFlight right now. Coming soon to the App Store. Android's in the works.

The Knitting Nook home screen on an iPhone with nothing in progress: a line drawing of an armchair, a yarn basket and a bookshelf, under the words Welcome to your nook.

The home screen with one project in front: a photo of a grey cardigan in progress, the stage it is at, and a button reading Pick up where you left off.

The home screen listing five projects in progress, each with its own photo, the time spent on it and how long is left until its finish-by date.

What is inside

Built around the way a project actually goes.

Start a project, lose count, find the pattern, mark the row you stopped at, check whether you already have that yarn. Knitting Nook holds all of it.

A colorwork chart open in the app, under the pattern name and the pen tools. The rows already worked are shaded, the current row is marked, and the counter above reads twenty-three of sixty-nine.

A written pattern open with the row counter underneath it, showing a cable repeat at three of eight and row twenty-four.

The gauge calculator open over a pattern, with the pattern gauge, the swatch needle and the gauge measured before and after blocking.

Tools

The counting and the math, out of your way.

The chart marker moves up a row every time you count, and the rows you've finished stay marked. When your swatch doesn't match the pattern, the gauge calculator works the numbers out for you.

The making-time screen for one project: forty-six hours over thirty-three days, with a calendar underneath marking every day worked.

The calendar for October, with the hours under each day worked and a per-project summary underneath.

Time

Start a session. The app keeps the rest.

Tap start when you sit down and stop when you get up. Every session lands on the calendar, and at the end of the month or the year you get a card that adds it all up.

The stash list, showing each yarn with its colorway, weight, fiber and how many skeins are left.

Stash

Ask your yarn what it could be.

Pick a yarn you already own and see what you could make with it, and what other people made with the same yarn. That part needs Ravelry connected.

A Ravelry library opened inside the app, showing a grid of saved patterns with their covers deliberately blurred.

Ravelry's pattern browser inside the app, a grid of pattern covers with free and paid badges, their photos deliberately blurred.

Ravelry

Your Ravelry library, already here.

Connect your account and your patterns, your stash and your projects come with you. Import the yarn you already logged, open a library PDF straight into the viewer, and post a finished project back without leaving the app.

Knitting Nook isn't made by or affiliated with Ravelry. Ravelry features need a free Ravelry account.

Counting

Row counters that stay put

Keep a counter running for each project you have going. The count is still there the next time you open the app.

Stash

Know what is already in the bin

Track the yarn you own so you can check it before you buy more of the same thing.

Patterns

Marked up with Apple Pencil

Open a pattern PDF inside the app and write on it the way you would on paper.

Projects

Every project, start to finish

Notes, photos, the yarn you used and the day you finished, all kept with the project.

Themes

Eight ways to make it yours

Pick the one that suits your yarn, your room, or the time of day.

Google or Apple, nothing else

Two ways in, both ones you already have. There is a guest mode if you would rather not sign in yet.

Plans

Start free. Upgrade when you outgrow it.

Questions

Before you download.

Can I try it now?

Yes. The beta is open on TestFlight, so you can install it today and use the whole app. Join the beta here. The App Store release follows, and Android's in the works.

Which devices does it run on?

iPhone, iPad, and Android. iOS comes first, and Android's in the works.

How do I sign in?

With Google or with Apple. Those are the only two, and there will not be others. You can also use the app in guest mode without an account.

Do I need a Ravelry account?

No. Ravelry is optional. Connect it if you want your library in the app, and disconnect whenever you like.

Can I annotate patterns without an Apple Pencil?

The PDF viewer is built for Apple Pencil on iPad. You can still open and read your patterns on any supported device.

What happens to my data if I cancel Pro?

Nothing is deleted. Your projects, counters, and stash stay where they are.

Where are my patterns and photos stored?

On your device, and in cloud storage when sync is on. The privacy policy spells out exactly what is kept and where.

Send it from the app

Settings → Report a problem

Describe what went wrong and tap Email support. Your device model, your iOS version and the app's error log are attached automatically, so nothing important is left out.

Include a screenshot

The app opens an email with the report already prepared. A screenshot of what you were seeing often shows the cause right away, even when it's hard to put into words.

Privacy

What the app collects, where it is stored, and how to delete it: read the privacy policy.
