For this weekend, a small post about the tools I use to track patterns.
At the very beginning, I would print out my pattern and simply mark off the row I had just completed with a pencil, then I started reading them on my iPad, but I would put checkmarks on a separate sheet to avoid altering the pattern.
And one day, @lily.carac went to Japan for several weeks for work, and among other things, she brought back this ADORABLE panda head row counter ❤️, very practical, but don’t forget to press the button 😅😇
Later, I discovered @ribblr_it on the @knittory Discord. I downloaded the app but had a lot of problems with it. I found it a shame because it’s really well thought out. Buying the pattern directly on the app, reading the pattern with step-by-step tracking, etc. Since it didn’t work well on my devices, I quickly stopped using it. BUT, since yesterday, I’ve started using it again, @nynywies ordered an outfit for my adorable goddaughter, and the pattern is only available on Ribblr. I have only one thing to say: the app has GREATLY improved and it has reconciled me with Ribblr.
Another time, @ch.juchler (who knits) and I were enjoying delicious pastries at @osio.vaud, each of us was working on our project, me with Mr. Panda (the row counter) and she was messing with her phone. She then explained to me that it was an app for counting rows. So I did some research and testing. My choice fell on the “row counter” app. Very comprehensive, usable on multiple devices including the Apple Watch, it allows among other things to download your pattern and program multiple counters (one main and secondary ones). The free version is more than enough but I must admit I splurged on the subscription 😬.
And you, how do you keep track of your patterns?
