12I want to plan my next projects

Your queue lives on the Home screen, under Notebook → Project Queue. It is the list of everything you have promised yourself you will make. Above it sit four things: a search box, a filter button, a view button that switches between a list, a masonry grid and square thumbnails, and a sort button. The reorder button in the top corner lets you drag entries into the order you actually intend to knit them.

Queue entries are made from a pattern's own page. Open any pattern, tap the ⋮ button in the corner, and choose Add to Queue from the actions. The same menu also holds Start New Project, if you have decided to cast on rather than queue.

The sort button offers Queue Position (your own order, the default), Date Added, Alphabetical, Start Date and Deadline. Sorting by deadline is the one to reach for in the run-up to Christmas.

The filter button narrows the list to entries that Has Pattern, Has Yarn Assigned, Has Notes, Has Start Date or Has Deadline. "Has yarn assigned" is the useful one when you want to see only the things you could cast on today.

Tap an entry and it opens on Info, with four tabs across the top: Info, Notes, Yarns and Photos. Info shows the pattern it is linked to - craft, type, yarn weight, gauge - with a Change button if you queued the wrong one, and then Queue Information: your position in the queue, the date you queued it, the craft and the type.

Notes is where the plan goes - the size, the recipient, the modification you already know you want. Photos keeps the picture that made you queue it in the first place, or the colour combination you are thinking about. Yarns records what you intend to use.

The ⋮ button on a queue entry holds the things you do to it: Start Project, Edit Queue, View Pattern, Remove from Queue, and Open in Ravelry. Start Project is the one that matters - it carries the entry across into a real project, and asks whether to take it off the queue while it is at it, so the queue stays a list of what you have not started.

Under Tools → Insights → Queue Matcher, the app reads your queue and your stash together and sorts every entry into three groups. Ready to Cast On names the stash yarn that would do it and offers a Cast On button. Need More Yarn tells you exactly how many yards short you are, and of which yarn - the number to take to the yarn shop. No Matching Yarn is everything you have nothing suitable for.
