Knit Counter is a convenient way to store stitch counters and project information for multiple knitting projects. It started life as a way for me to familiarise myself with iPhone programming whilst creating something that would help my girlfriend with her knitting.

Along the way I began to wonder whether it might help other knitters too (and help me start a one person software empire) and so I decided to make it available on the App Store.

Each project in Knit Counter can include as many stitch counters as you want. You can choose the name, the starting value and even link counters together, so one counter increments another. For example you could set an increase counter to increment at the end of every 12th row.

There's an info screen attached to each project where you can note down the pattern name, yarn, needles used, or any other information related to the project.

Other features include a handy frog button that allows you to decrease a counter if you have to rip back rows, and increase/decrease alerts which can be set on specific rows so you never forget an increase or decrease row again.

There's also a “Lite” Version available for free. It's got all the same features, but is limited to a single project. If you only ever have one knitting project on the go at a time, it may be perfect for you. Otherwise, think of it as a way to try before you buy. The “Lite” Version is available here.
