ImadeIt home screen: six blankets grouped by year, with totals of 6 blankets, 5 this year and 39 skeins used.

Fifty blankets in, and the only record is your camera roll.

Most of us make it up as we go. The photos are lovely, but they can't answer the questions that come up the next time someone asks for "one just like that":

  • How many skeins did that sage throw take?
  • Which brand was that cream, and what was the colour called?
  • How many stitches wide did I cast on?
  • Did it come out the size I meant it to?

Before you start

Plan the size and the yarn.

Pick a size, set the width and length you're aiming for, and say how many skeins of each colour you expect to use. Start typing a brand and the colours come up with little swatches.

17chunky & chenille lines
850colours built in
  • Bernat Blanket family, Lion Brand, Premier Parfait, Cozyful, HOMBYS and more
  • Your own brands and colour names are remembered for next time
  • Add the pattern: a name, a link, or the PDF itself
Yarn picker: Cozyful Chunky Chenille is chosen and its colours are listed with swatches, including Cream, Navy Blue and Sage Green.

While you knit

Tap once for every new skein.

The skein tracker keeps count for you, colour by colour, with a bar that fills as you go. Run over plan and it tells you. Tapped by mistake? Undo it.

  • "3 of 4" at a glance, for each colour
  • A dated skein diary of when each one was joined
  • Day count since you started

When it's off your arms

See how it really came out.

Tap I finished it!, measure it flat and confirm the skeins. ImadeIt lines the result up against your plan, so the next one is easier to get right.

  • "2 in narrower and 3 in longer than planned"
  • Skeins used against skeins planned, per colour
  • Make another like this plans the next blanket from what this one actually took
Finished blanket 12: planned 50 by 60 inches, finished 48 by 63 inches, with Sage Green at 2.5 skeins used against 2 planned.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. ImadeIt is a free gift from Rustic Nastalje to the chunky blanket community. There's no paid version and nothing to unlock.

What happens if I get a new phone?

Save a backup from Settings before you switch, then choose "Restore from a backup" on the new phone. Every blanket, photo and pattern file comes across.

Can I use it for crochet or other projects?

It's built around chunky blankets, but nothing stops you logging a plushie, a pillow or a crocheted throw. The yarn list is focused on chunky and chenille yarns, and you can type any other yarn.

My yarn isn't in the list.

Just type it. ImadeIt remembers every brand and colour you enter and offers them next time.

Does it need the internet?

Only the first time you open it. After that it works offline, at the kitchen table or on the couch with no signal.

Is ImadeIt connected to the yarn brands?

No. ImadeIt isn't affiliated with or endorsed by any yarn brand. Brand and colour names are listed only so you can describe the yarn you used. They belong to their owners.

Inches or centimetres?

Either. Switch in Settings.
