Varda

Varda is a comprehensive utility designed to organise the creative process and provide a structured approach to knitting project management. The app integrates yarn inventory tracking, pattern design tools, and progress logging into a single digital workspace. Varda helps users maintain a clear overview of their crafting workflow, storing all technical data and calculations in one accessible place.
Key Features:
Project Management: Create detailed profiles for every knitting project. Set the item type, track current status, record target dimensions in centimetres, and link specific yarn from your inventory. Keep your thoughts organised with dedicated notes for each piece of work.
Yarn Stash Organiser: Maintain a complete digital record of your materials. Log brand names, fibre content, yarn weight, yardage, and total quantities. A visual colour picker helps you navigate your collection, making it easy to see what you have available for your next project.
Pattern Design Editor: Design your own stitch patterns using an intuitive grid-based editor. Utilise standard symbols for knits, purls, and yarn-overs. Features like horizontal/vertical mirroring and fill tools streamline the design process, while the repeat visualiser shows how your pattern scales across a larger fabric.
Technical Calculators: Access a suite of tools for precise crafting. The Gauge Calculator determines stitch and row counts based on your swatch measurements, while the unit converter handles quick transitions between metric and imperial units. Save your results for future reference.
Knitting Journal & Activity: Log your sessions by recording time spent and your creative mood. The app generates activity charts and visual statistics, allowing you to track your productivity and view milestones within your user profile.
Integrated Row Counter: Stay on track while you knit with the built-in counter. The interface allows for easy increments and provides a clear visual indicator of your progress against the total row count of a section.
Privacy and Customisation
Varda allows you to tailor your experience by selecting an avatar and setting your proficiency level—from beginner to master.

Whether you are starting your first scarf or managing a complex wardrobe of handmade garments, Varda provides the tools necessary to keep your hobby organised and your calculations accurate.
