Good idea

Very handy but would be even better if the gauge were in sts per 10cm as well as in inches. In the metric world thats how its done. Muddlesknit.

Nice Work Interweave

Just in time for post-Christmas yarn sales, your timing on this is brilliant! I have been carrying around the pamphlet version of Handy for months, and it is so great to now have it at my fingertips on iPhone. A nice feature is when it brings up your yarn requirements you can easily switch from yards to metres on the same screen. Straightforward to use, nice appearance, great price. What would make this a 5-star app is the addition of a calculator: if you could enter in the yardage on the ball band and it calculated the number of balls to buy for a project. Then it would be truly a one-stop app. Looking forward to this update...

Useful and easy to use

I wasnt going to bother with this app since I already have another yarn usage app. But this little app is quite nice. I like that you can adjust the gauge and the yardage appears on the screen without having to hit submit. This way you can play with gauge and easily see the yardage without any back-and-forth. Yardage for sweaters (for example) ranges a lot depending on stitch pattern, cables, necklines etc. The yardage given gives just a 10% buffer (I think thats what the app description said), so keep those design decisions in mind when considering yardage requirements. I thought it would be nice to have the app consider some of those factors, but where to draw the line? I realize its a slippery slope. Overall, this is a very nice app for knitters, well worth the cost.

Baby got gauge?

I really like this app. I own a knitting store & I used the old-skool paper version for 9 years before I got an iGadget, and I also use Ann Budds books for reference too. The only thing the app needs are the in-between gauges: 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 sts/inch. So many standardized yarn sizes fall in the middle gauge, and I still have to use a calculator to figure out the final yardage. Please fix!
