So happy to find your tutorials. I've been using the upgraded version of Knitcompanion for about a year and had no idea how to use some of the features until this great video. Thanks so much.

How have I survived as a knitter/crocheter without this!!! I have multiple projects that I need to track where I am. This is a lifesaver for knitting and crocheting! Woohoo!

As a programmer and knitter a lot of module's ideas come to my mind . . . A business is born! Thanks

Thank you so much for these videos. I've been using KC for years but never invested the time to learn all the great features.

Keep em coming Staci!! You have such a wonderful teaching style. KC is a game changer for sure!!! Not only helping us crafting folks but also saving a lot of trees. No printing necessary !!

Couldn’t remember how to do the quick key from previously waiting this video, but finally needed it. Thank you for these excellent tutorials - you have been my “go to” person for years❤

I haven't had to print any of my patterns for YEARS! I bought my KC just as it was finishing its beta testing!!! My iPad is too old to upgrade so I'm still on the Legacy KC which is still a great app. I hope my old iPad lasts for many more years to come but if not, I'll upgrade both the iPad and KC!!! I'm so glad you are a convert and spreading the word of KC like the flu but with better outcomes ... lol!

I got the knit companion after your first video. I love it. Thanks for this next video, I was amazed what else it can do. Can’t wait for the next one. Thank you Staci .

I downloaded the app after your first video and I so appreciate the features in the free version. Keeping track of my place in a WIP and the counters are good, not having to keep dozens of pages of paper is even better. I love that I can carry all my patterns and WIPs with me in a digital format.

Viewing this as a refresher for those functions that I only use infrequently. That key is a game changer for all those annoying “at the same time” instructions! Thanks for these videos- they are very helpful!!!

I love this tool! Thanks for the series. I appreciate the mkal merge. That’s a real game changer. I have stopped printing patterns entirely since using KC!

This is so perfect - I knitting an Arne and Carlos pillow for my Mom and I have spent more time finding my place in the chart than knitting. Can’t wait to sit down with knitCompanion and knit away. Thanks Staci for brining this to my attention!!

Excellent. This helped me with the counters. Appreciate you taking the time to show us how to use KC.

I love Knit companion! So glad you’re going through this. Hope you cover how to add in decreases/increases every set number of rows.

I first learned about this app from you, and I’ve used the free version ever since! I can’t imagine how I got along without it. Thanks for showing us what’s available in the upgrade.

Thank You I love KnitCompanion!!! I didn’t know that you can specify the amount of rows on the row counters. I make bears for The Mother Bear project and I use the counter to count 8 rows almost every day. I was always resenting the counters back to zero manually. KnitCompanion is amazing!!!

I immediately downloaded Knit Companion after your last video and have used it almost non-stop. Now this video has taught me so much more! Going to watch the video again through my TV so I can have the app open on my iPad as you are demonstrating. Thank you so much for introducing this app and can’t wait to learn more.

Thanks so much. I"ve been using KC for over 5 years and am always amazed when I discover new features. Adding in new pages is something that I do quite frequently and never understood the check and x boxes. So thanks for that tip (and several others too!).

Thank you for this video - I own knitcompanion and have used it all the time. Your video shows me things I was not aware of - and makes things simpler. Any software has a learning curve and this shows us things we didn't even know existed

Wow, that is a nice tool and eco friendly. Cuts down on paper usage, plus it can store numerous patterns. Nice gift.

KnitCompanion is awesome. I think the subscription to the upgraded/paid version is well worth the money. Compared to cost of quality yarn, it is a very reasonable price and the functions are amazing. I know I make fewer mistakes and ripout less when I am using KnitCompanion. Thanks for the videos Staci. Even though I've been using KC for a while now, I learned new things from your video.

Thank you so much for introducing me to Knit Companion. I loved my other knitting pattern software but ever since Apple updated their software I was not able to get into my patterns. I love this new software and appreciate your tutorials on how to use.

I have the knit companion thanks to you I learned about it and did the free version for a couple years and then I upgraded and didn’t know what to do so I am now watching each video and I’m amazed at how much more I could be using this app if I just taking the time to learn, so thank you for having all these videos I’m taking them one at a time and digesting then and loving every minute of it. Thank you.

Thank you, Staci, for doing this series. I could use even more videos like this (beyond your five videos) to just keep going into the great features of KC. Thanks!!! Awesome teaching! Very very helpful. I know I just asked you to do even more work, but it’s very very helpful.

Thank you, that program looks amazing and you explained everything so well. Definitely going to down load on to my iPad. Have a nice day.🧶🧶🧶💞💞💞

I really appreciate all of your videos, but this one has helped me decide to go for the pod version. I had been using KC for awhile on the free side. Just happy to have counters my kids couldn’t click lol but now I need the highlighting and note taking. And my husband hates the clutter of the pattern and notions being left out. So this will help significantly. I do love that I have the ability to carry it all on my phone and so I just need a project bag and I can knit away anywhere. Thank you!!! Looking forward to more of these if you have them. Sad I missed the giveaway. But so grateful for your work!

You definitely do the best videos, and these are great. I’ve used kc for years and love it, but I’ve just learned a couple of new tricks. Thanks!

Wish I had watched your videos before I bought my Row counter app. This does so much more

I never heard of this so thanks for the tutorial and explaining the features.

Thank you for introducing this to me, love using it!

How did I live without this app and your first KC video tutorial? Thank you for making another more advanced tutorial. So, I’ve been experimenting with one counter being the row repeat and the next counter being the amount of row repeats. Your videos have helped me become a better knitter and crocheter. Thank you!

Thank you so much for these videos! My Zoom knit group just loves them, too!

Thank you for doing these very informative videos. This app is a total game changer and I’m constantly using it for both knitting and crochet projects. I’m doing a fair

I've been using the software for 3 years....it is absolutely a game changer....I also use the counter buttons to document the row of lifelines for those time I remove the needles and rip it all back. Wish you had these videos out when I was struggling learning my way through it back in the day but I did learn something from this one! Who knew you could link a video :) I still have lots to learn to utilize the software to it full capability.

Just ran into this and it is truly a game changer! What an amazing tool!

I've used KC for a couple years but this 2nd video taught me some more ways of using the app. Thank you!

KC university tutorials are so easy to watch and learn new features. Well worth the cost. Annual cost is nominal compared to value.👍 One item you did not mention when on slider edit is invert. I find it extremely useful to invert so all the page becomes colored except highlighted row. Very nice!

Thanks. I need this. Love KC.

Thank you, thank you! Great tutorial on KC!

Love your teaching ... after your first video I purchased and love this and after flubbing around for a while I came back to revisit both tutorials and it really helped to flub around because watching without knowing exactly what to look for made my first viewing too abstract. I am hoping you do a another one soon, I really resonate with and am grateful for your teaching style. I found a way to bring in a photo of my own work and then mark notes on it It was a complicated slipper that required lots of pieces sewn together illogically and it really helped to label it flat and then work with it having penned notes onto the photo. I just made a few notes in Pages and inserted the photo, then saved as a pdf and air dropped it from computer to my ipad because I don't know how to do it yet directly on the ipad. Anyway I love this software and your instructions and persona.

Interesting. When I have a .pdf currently of Ravelry free patterns iPad software lets you select Acrobat vs. iBooks and I select Acrobat on account of the features Acrobat has which allows me to make moveable highlights, add notes to patterns of things I preferred to change or errors in the way the pattern was written. As my iPad is smaller than my laptop, I use it more. Even though it isn't the newest iPad, it is an iPad 4, it is working well. But the free version of KnitComanion, I'm going to check out. My line of work was computer graphic arts so knowing Acrobat well has really helped me, I do see, however, that for many knitters, this would be a God-send, especially if they have an iPad already. Thanks for sharing. But I have upgraded my IOS as far as this will let me. But if I get a newer iPad, certainly something to keep in mind.

Thank you so much. Great software.

I love this program.

I downloaded the app just based on the tutorial (I started at 12!), but when I realized the features I wanted were “paid” ones, I subscribed without hesitation. Now I’m visiting the entire series so I can get the most out of it. I used to type out my own instructions, row by row, so I wouldn’t get confused (ADHD here), but now I can save time AND TREES! Looking forward to finding out how I can get my pdf's out of “Books” and on to KC without emailing them to Dropbox first. (And can I delete them from Dropbox without harming my KC entry?)

Love the video - made all the difference in being able to use the app. Question - how do you remove something? I added a KEY that I would like to remove.

Excellent tutorial. Thank you. How do I delete pages?

I use knit companion but for Android. Unfortunately it does not have as many features for the android os. She hopes to change that but it is still worth the yearly subscription.

TANK YOU FOR THIS VIDIO VERY HELPFUL. WILL USE THIS APP

When you’re setting up the highlight bar, select the ‘invert’ button!

Can you have more than one quick key? My pattern has abbreviations on one page and symbols on another.

Just realized that my free version will not allow all the “edit” features you demonstrated. Guess an upgrade may be in order. Are you using the yearly subscription version or the basics “one-time” upgrade?

I have the "Setup & Essentials" version...you can visit the KnitCompanion website to see the Feature List, and what is offered in each version.

I bought this mainly for pencil notes but I found I cannot write with the pencil on notes, they ave to be typed, but I do write on the pattern itself and that is helpful, but a bit disappointing ... the key is a great idea I could not figure it out, so thanx ... I am a bit shy about using this, used to working pdf's from my laptop and adding notes where the pdf's allow, many do not. This second video helps me try to switch over to my ipad and make use of this app. I love the bars and the dot where you left off in the pattern.

If you're using the paid version on your iPad, you get a feature called Scribble, which allows you to write on your patterns. I demonstrate Scribble in the first video.

@ooohlaa13

4 жыл бұрын

​@@verypinkknits no I purchased with scribble but what I am saying is that you cannot handwrite notes, you have to type them, so when you tap on add a note you have to be in edit mode and you can only scribble on the actual pattern in knit mode, unless I am mixed up I don't think ... you can only right directly on the pattern, like say you want to write a note that is larger than you can squeeze in on the actual pattern itself you have to change modes a add a note where notes are stored hope i am making sense thanx anyway I am glad to have the software just need to stop being intimidated by it

Thanks for reviewing this. Question: if a pattern has multiple sizes, how can you highlight the variations for that size. For example if I’m making a size Small I usually circle the paper pattern for all the Small instructions.

Here is the reply I got from the developer...I will fit a demonstration in to the next video, if there is time. 1. they can use scribble (it has a highlighter tip for the pen, or in the case of this person wanting to circle their size they can do that with the regular pen tip just like on paper), 2. or they can add highlights from edit/highlights. For highlights see here: www.knitcompanion.com/ufaqs/add-highlights/ One other nice thing you can also do with either scribble or highlights is “white out” all the sizes except yours. So pick a white as a color and make it not at all transparent, and “mark out” the sizes you don’t want. For some this is much easier and less confusing than lots of numbers still showing, even if the one you want is marked.

This is soooo helpful! I do have a question…what do I do to save the changes I make, ie: changing the size and color of the sliding markers?

Yes, I covered that in the third video of the series, I demonstrated it on charts.

Is it possible to add another vertical line marker? I usually knit a small size, but charts are usually made with the stitch counts for the largest size with bold lines to match the stitch count for smaller sizes. For example, a chart may have 100 stitches for the largest size, but I only knit the middle 80 for a small or medium. Having two vertical lines would allow me to block off the extra stitches I don’t need. Currently, I take a pencil and shade out the extra stitches anytime I work a chart made this way because it can get very confusing. Also, is it possible to keep those lines if chose to export to a PDF and print?
