Knitting Counter

A hands-free row counter for knitters. Tell your voice assistant to increment your rows so you never have to put your needles down.

If you knit, you know the pain: you're in the zone, hands moving on autopilot, and then you need to check what row you're on. Put the needles down. Pick up the phone. Unlock it. Find the app. Tap the button. Pick the needles back up. Try to remember where you were.

This tool fixes that. Just say "next row" and keep going. Your voice assistant tracks where you are, knows your pattern, and can tell you when something important is coming up ("you'll need to decrease in 3 rows").

It's designed for the way crafters actually work — hands busy, brain occupied, no patience for fiddly apps. The entire interface is your voice.

Features

Voice-Controlled Counting

"Alexa, next row" or "Hey Siri, increment" — keep your hands on your needles and your eyes on your work.

Pattern Tracking

Set up repeating patterns and the counter will tell you when you've reached a key row (decrease, color change, etc).

Multiple Projects

Juggling a sweater and a scarf? Keep separate counters for each project and switch between them by name.

No Screen Needed

The entire experience is designed for voice. No reaching for your phone, no losing your place.
