I have an Android phone and like to browse the apps every now and then.  I found one a few months back that I really enjoyed, a free one called Knit Cards.  This app is great for designing patterns.  It had lines to plug in the size needles and type of yarn used, gauge, picture, and more.  But there are a few things I disliked about it.  First, when I took the pictures off my phone, they were gone from Knit Cards as well.  There is likely something I could have changed in the settings to keep the photos saved to internal storage rather than the SD card, but I didn't realize at the time that this would happen.  Second, KnitCards has a "notes" section, which is basically where you write your pattern.  It could be designed better.  It's just this small empty space.  Numbered lines for each row would be perfect.  This should actually be the MAIN part of the app, IMOAnd lastly, and this isn't the app's fault, my phone crashed and my memory card was wiped.  So I lost EVERY SINGLE pattern I made on the app.  Therefore, I reverted to using graph paper and notebooks for designing patterns.
    A second free app that I use is called County.  It's so simple, and almost needless, but it's a nice way to count your rows.  You just tap the screen and the numbers go up.  It's sometimes more convenient than using a piece of scrap paper to keep track of my rows.  If my pattern is up on my phone, I need to exit the pattern, open County, tap it, and go back to my pattern.  So it isn't better than using paper, but I still like to use it sometimes.
    Anyone have any apps they like?

Hello!
I am a knitting mother of 4.  I have taught people how to knit and am branching that out through this website.  I design a lot of my own things, but also love free patterns!  I am just dabbling in this for now, and my goal is to have most of it completed, to the point of being useful at least, by the New Year.  My goals for this site are to show some techniques, tips, share patterns, show off completed projects, and for it to eventually be useful to the beginner knitter and designer.
