While you knit

Instructions

They come three ways. Sections opens on the section you're on, with your step outlined: tap it when you've knitted it and the outline moves on. Each section fills up as you go and folds away when it's done (Show and Hide open and close the done ones). Steps shows one step at a time in big type, with what's coming up underneath. Or read the PDF itself. Pick your size with Size and its numbers are highlighted throughout. Ticked a step by mistake? Undo shows for a few seconds. Ticks made with no connection are kept on your device and saved when you're back online.

The timer

Tap the clock to start. Stopped, it shows your total so far (like 15h 41m); running, it counts this session. Tap it again to pause and again to carry on, so a brush of your hand loses nothing; End session under the paused clock finishes it. While it runs you'll see it on your other pages (at the bottom on a phone, beside the bell on a computer), and after three hours it asks if you're still knitting.

While it runs, the project page keeps to your step, the clock and the counters: Size, the views and sharing are tucked away until it stops (tap Show to bring them back sooner, andTuck away to put them away again).

Counters

Tap a dial to add a row. Tap a counter's name to rename it, give it a goal, choose which section it's for, reset it or delete it. A counter for a finished section steps aside. Brushed a dial by mistake? For a few seconds after each tap its name reads Undo +1: tap that to take the row back off. Counted one too many earlier? Hold the dial to take a row off (Undo puts it back). When every counter is done and the section you're on has none, the phone's second dial becomes a dashed + that adds one for it. Row counts made with no connection are kept and saved once you're back.

On a phone

The timer and two counters sit at the bottom of the screen in place of the tabs.More opens all your counters, with −1 to take a row off and+ to add a counter; Less goes back to two. Menubrings the tabs back, and Hide tucks the timer and counters into one bar.
