😲 The chart customization is so cool!

so happy to see the highlight feature be a part of free version. That was the #1 thing I need!

Very exciting news! Can't wait to use this and there's a free version is the cherry on top! Thank you for sharing this. Your tutorials make it look easy and I feel confident I can do this. Have a blessed weekend friends.

I have an iPad, very old, but my daughter has a newer Samsung Tablet. I’ll have to try my knit companion with her tablet. I love your knit companion demonstration. I need a full video class on all of the free features. I’m sure I’m missing things. Many thanks Stacy. I had a tiny 7 lb Italian Greyhound for 18 years. I love greyhounds, whippets and Italian Greyhounds. Thanks for sharing your baby with us.

I'm an Android use and this couldn't come at a better time! I'm starting a very complex lace project next week. So, I have time to get familiar with the new 'toys' before I start!! Thanks so much for the demonstration. It really. helps with the learning curve :D

Oh wow and double wow ! Knit Companion is fantastic. Takes a bit of getting used to but you’ve helped a lot Staci. Just knitting a top down cardigan and using THREE counters at the same time ! I like using charts too, Knit Companion makes it so much easier. The last stole I knitted I made a cardboard guide to slide down over pattern ! No more thanks to Knit Companion. For me the monthly subscription is well worth paying. Thank you Staci.

@georgia4793 10 ай бұрын

Wow! Staci thank you I’m going to try some of these tips for my next project. I’ve subscribed with the extra features for awhile and have only used basics. Thank you

Thanks Staci, Knit Companion is incredible but needs to be taught and learnt. I now download all my new patterns to Knit Companion my printer is in a sulk ! The paper saving is excellent too. I’d say to others it takes time to get used to using it and will prove to be a great asset to serious knitters. I’ve just bought my first iPad to use with Knit Companion, brilliant ❤

The only thing we're missing on Android is voice control and large format counters :) Since we have the setup options I enjoy making my own setup for every pattern I knit, not only using it for the sliding row and markers like before

Can you add grid lines to keep track of the number of stretches per row ie every 10 stitches? So useful for catching mistakes before you go too far

@bgharlow 9 ай бұрын

I just wish it showed the *column* numbers on the new chart! And it does have some problems accurately finding the same cable stitches. It finds more than it should.

@hilarybenjamin4758 10 ай бұрын

This looks wonderful! Question: not all patterns are in Ravelry. Does knit companion allow us the import from our own files?

@slyknits 10 ай бұрын

Sure can! In fact that is this week’s tip on Instagram. Your patterns can come from anywhere!

@cyndielynn 10 ай бұрын

You missed setting up counters for continuous stitches. I hate to count the stitches on my device as I am very challenged with vision issues. I also use this app for crochet and cross stitch.

Can it handle a chart that isn't rectangular? Like a chart where stitches are increased? I couldn't find a way to get it to do that.

Does your pattern need to be in Ravelry? What if I have a pattern that's in a book? Can it be copied and put into KnitCompanion?

@verypinkknits 10 ай бұрын

Yes - you can get a photo from a book or magazine into kC. I demonstrate that in Apple in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLp9Zd1105-YlX0.html I have another short video on this technique for both Apple and Android coming soon.

I've been using the same tablet with knit companion, the stylus is fine if you have practice with it. Also cool updates but I don't chart with knitting but would probably work just as well with colour work crochet 🙏🏾🙌🏾

Thank your for the update. You've convinced me to pay for the subscription. It's nice to know what you're getting before you take the plunge. Do you know if the KC apps sync projects etc, if used between two different devices ie iphone and android tablet? Has anyone tried this?

@slyknits 10 ай бұрын

It sure does! You can use any cloud, email, or computer to do this.

Do I still have to pay for a separate subscription per device? Is there still no cross-device syncing of pattern progress?

@verypinkknits 10 ай бұрын

If you're not switching operating systems (between Apple and Android) one subscription per knitter should cover all your devices.

When you buy the paid version, is it just a one time fee. Or yearly?

It's a yearly subscription.

@TheOtterKnitter 9 ай бұрын

These were very helpful tips - several things I didn't know I could do! One issue I ran into when trying it was I did a chart with the magic keys (amazing) but once I set it up, the yellow highlight bar won't move when I'm on that page. Is there a trick to unlock it, or is this a bug?

@verypinkknits 9 ай бұрын

I think what you're seeing is the one-tap counter in action. You advance the highlight bar by advancing the one-tap counter, as I demonstrate in this video.

Not sure why you deleted the app? But as long as you backed up, your projects are safe! All app updates are done from the App Store, no need to delete in order to update.

@Species710 10 ай бұрын

I'm probably wording it incorrectly and so I can't find how to do it but; Could you do a video where one knits a tube closed, using the knitting needles. My example is I want to knit an ear warmer, and when I finish the fabric, I'd like to close it, while still on the needles, rather then bind off, then sew into a closed tube.

I was upset when Knit Companion sent me an alert that I couldn't advance to the upgraded version until my basic essentials has expired. What is this nonsense? I will willingly cancel my basics so I can get the pay app. ,but I can't. My basic won't advance until March of 2024! Have you heard about this? I've tried everything. Any thoughts?

Your row number is there on the counter that I pointed out. No need for row numbers in the chart.
