§ 01

The counter, working

Sampler Dishcloth · body Repeat · row 0 of 8

One tap per row. The number is the whole screen, on purpose: it has to read across a room, mid-row, with a needle in your other hand.

Try it. This is the app's counting screen, rebuilt for the browser. Drop a lifeline, count past it, then frog back to it, that round trip is the product.

The point of view

Make knitting cool again.

It never actually left. It was waiting for software that respects it, guides that are exact, patterns that speak both term systems, and tools built for the way the craft really goes: five projects on the go, one of them hibernating, and a mistake at row 112 that is a detour, not a disaster.

If you read one thing here, make it the US vs UK crochet terms table, the one-rung shift between the two systems quietly ruins more crochet than any dropped stitch. Then gauge, for the sweater you want to fit, and frogging & lifelines, for the day something goes wrong anyway.

Knotorious is a small studio for knitters and crocheters: the guides are the library, the patterns are the shelf, and the app is the tool that keeps your place through all of it.
