Knit Companion Basics

Getting Started with Knit Companion

Have you downloaded Knit Companion but aren't quite sure what to do with it? Or maybe you've heard other knitters rave about it and want to see what all the fuss is about?

Join us as we explore Knit Companion, a handy app that helps you keep track of your knitting projects without juggling paper patterns, sticky notes, and row counters.
