Questions
Does the counter save my place?
Yes. Counts are saved in this browser on this device, so you can close the page and come back. Nothing is sent to us.
Can I count rows and stitches at the same time?
Yes. There are two counters, one for rows (or rounds) and one for stitches or repeats. Rename them to whatever you're counting.
Will my phone screen stay on?
On most phones the page asks the screen to stay awake while it's open, so you can count without unlocking.
Can I set a target?
Yes. Set the stitches in the round and the counter tells you when you reach it, which is handy for amigurumi rounds.
