This project provides a unique stitch counter for crocheting and knitting projects. Users are able to count stitches, specify project row total, track progress, save/load files, and customize interface color all from the same screen. In the spirit of minimalism, this was an attempt to keep things as simple as possible while providing the ability to cusomize the appearance of the app.

---|---|---|---|---|
When the app is launched, a single stitch counter is available. Use the - and + buttons to decrease and increase the count. This can be useful for keeping count when you're not sure how many stitches you need, or you just want a basic counter.
To clear the stitches, double-tap the Reset button. On the first tap, the Reset button will do a soft prompt for confirmation by changing to Reset?, providing 1.5 seconds to confirm. If you do not want to confirm, simply don't tap it again and it will time out. Keep in mind that the functionality changes if you have chosen to use the row counter as well.
To enable the row counter, select Options -> Row Count. The app will shift to include the row counter. Three new elements have been introduced.
The St/R value indicates how many stitches are needed per round. For example, if St/R is set to 5, when you increase the main stitch counter to 5, it will reset to 0 because you have completed a row.
The Rows value indicates how many rows (or rounds) you expect in your project.
The Ratio displayed above Rows shows how many rows have been completed out of the total number of rows for this project.
To remove the row counter, simply select Options -> Row Count again. The data will be maintained.
To clear the completed rows in the Ratio, you must triple-tap the reset button
To clear the St/R and Rows values, you must tap the reset button four times.
The most important thing to note here is that projects do not autosave.
In order to save a new project or update an existing project, you must select Options -> Save to display the Save Name? field. You can select that element to enter the name of the save file. Press enter/return to complete the save.
If you specify an existing file, it will be overwritten without a confirmation prompt.
You can save up to 8 projects.
Select Options -> Load to display a list of saved projects (if any exist). Select a project to load.
Remember that if you make updates after loading a project, you must save to keep your changes.
To remove the list of projects from the view, either select Load again or select the parent Object button to remove all visible options.
Select Options -> Load to display a list of saved projects (if any exist).
Above the project list is a Delete button. If you select Delete, then select a project, it will be deleted without a prompt for confirmation.
The application provides access to 9 color options. Select Options -> Color to see available colors, and select any to see the changes.
The most recent color choice is saved and persists between app launches.
To remove the list of projects from the view, either select Color again or select the parent Object button to remove all visible options.
