More information

A Designer’s Page Like A Magazine Feature

  • A designer’s page now shows her at her best: her portrait, her own words, and how loved she is among all designers
  • Her signature design and her most loved patterns, each with a word from a maker who made it
  • Which of her patterns are climbing the charts right now
  • Her own places on the web and her Ravelry group
  • A pattern’s source, whether a book, a magazine or a website, gets the same look, with the designer linked when it is hers
  • Every pattern on her page carries a maker’s word, her signature design and the climbing ones included
  • On a phone her words use the whole width, and on a tablet the Follow button sits on its own line so her numbers are not squeezed
  • Everything on the page is real Ravelry information, nothing made up

Free Versions And Prices Shown Clearly

  • When a pattern is free somewhere else, for example on the designer’s blog, but costs money on Ravelry, both are shown side by side, with a link to the free version
  • A designer’s current sale, say 35 % off, appears right next to the price
  • Both on the pattern page and on Story cards

Techniques

  • Look up how a technique is worked, step by step
  • See what it is called in your language
  • Find patterns on Ravelry that use it, and videos that show it
  • A technique’s written rows and its chart come from one source, so what you read and what you see on the swatch always agree
  • Cast-ons and bind-offs are shown stitch by stitch, and a technique can show a small worked example, a hat or a cowl, with its size, gauge and yarn
  • All 28 techniques were checked one by one, row by row, against the chart, the videos and the reading links
  • It sits in Tools, next to Calculators

Calculators On One Page

  • Gauge, adapting a pattern, yarn amounts, units and pooling now share one Calculators page, each on its own tab

Adding Photos Works Again, Everywhere The Same

  • Adding photos from the camera or the gallery works again, for projects, stash, forum posts and messages
  • You see a preview of the photo being added and a real progress bar
  • Add several photos at once
  • Blur faces when you choose to
  • If an upload fails, you get a short explanation and can send the details to us
  • In the photo gallery, the tap that hides the arrows and thumbnails now hides the close button too, and a photo still on its way shows a small loader in the corner instead of a box over the picture

Bobbin Stays With You

  • Your conversation with Bobbin stays on the search page: asking for yarn, projects or stash switches what you see there instead of taking you somewhere else
  • The chat looks calmer, and suggestions are no longer cut off
  • “Bobbin is thinking…” is shown in your language

Reading A Pattern

  • On a phone, opening a pattern shows the pattern first, and the knitting panel opens when you ask for it. On a tablet it still sits beside the pattern
  • Your reading guides, row counters and pattern choices are now kept by Stash2Go, so they are faster and stay reliable. They move over by themselves the first time you open the new version
  • Printing opens one print dialog at a time, and tapping Print twice no longer shows errors
  • More pattern PDFs from designers’ own websites open

A Calmer, More Consistent Look

  • Cards, menus, sheets and colours follow one style everywhere, and follow the style you pick, from very quiet to bold
  • Menus open right where you tap, and status words stay easy to read
  • Tablets use the extra room with more columns
  • Yarn cards show weight, yardage, ply and gauge in one row under the photo
  • In Messages, Inbox, Sent and Archived are tabs with an icon over each name, easy to read in every language
  • While something loads you see one of sixteen new craft animations, each a real motion that loops without a jump
  • The figures in a Lively theme scene now move on phones too. On an Android phone where scrolling struggles, Lively pauses itself and Appearance says so, with a button to keep it anyway
  • Cards in lists no longer wear a coloured edge that looked like a selection
  • On iPad the small gallery no longer breaks titles in the middle of a word in Queue and Stash, and on a large iPad Bobbin shows once, not in a side panel and a sheet at the same time

Classic And Basic Views

  • In Classic view, the Projects row on a pattern page opens the pattern’s projects, not your own notebook
  • Comments and notes have one back arrow, the timeline no longer cuts words and dates in half, and German labels keep their words whole
  • Cards no longer sit in boxes inside boxes, and going back to a page keeps your place instead of jumping to the top
  • Share is in every Actions box
  • In Basic and Classic view, a quiet line at the bottom of a pattern, project or stash page says what Advanced view would show there and where to switch

Shop Finder And Forums

  • Shops that sit close together on the map, shown as a number bubble, are now also in the list below, nearest first
  • A reply in a forum outside your boards now shows up, and unread replies are clearly marked

A Connection Status You Can Trust

  • The app no longer flips between online and offline when your connection is fine, which iPhones on mobile data felt most
  • Online now simply means Ravelry answers
  • The network status page is clearer, shows “Checking…” while it checks, and opening it no longer closes the app on iPhone
  • On Android the app is ready much sooner after starting

Fixes

  • Pressing and holding a favourite in the square layout no longer closes the app
  • Signing in with Ravelry on Android no longer fails at the very last step
  • Row counters and settings keep saving after a sign-in hiccup. Before, they could stop until you logged in again
  • Scrolling fast through your projects no longer shows some of them twice
  • When one pattern in a group has been removed from Ravelry, the others keep their details on Story cards, in insights and in the Stash Matchmaker
  • On first start, the notification question and the privacy question come one after the other, not at once
  • On Android 14 and newer, tapping the row counter tile no longer closes the app
  • The app no longer keeps looking for projects you have deleted, which saves battery and data
  • Short stash links open the right entry
  • Photo labels no longer break in the middle of a word, and on iPad a long gauge chip stays inside its card
  • The price row shows fully on Android, and on a tablet the number keypad is just as tall as its keys
  • Switching between patterns no longer shows the previous pattern’s labels for a moment
  • Opening a person’s profile no longer closes the app when their favourite colours are written as a sentence
  • Stash status filter names are in your language
  • A social link that is a whole web address no longer shows as “@https://…”, and a page for something no longer available says why, deleted or private
  • Search placeholders keep their size, Stash Matchmaker tiles keep weight and length apart, and the glossary hides its internal source names
  • The search bar no longer appears before a list’s first results, and the “Topics” title is capitalised in every language

October 8, 2026

  • Hot Right Now Charts (Beta)
  • Live Rank On Hot Right Now (Beta)
  • Your Pattern Control Centre (Beta)
  • A Page For Beta Features
  • Emoji While You Type
  • Numbers And Dates
More information

Hot Right Now Charts (Beta)

  • Ravelry’s Hot Right Now list changes all day and forgets where a pattern stood yesterday. The app now keeps track and draws it as a chart
  • The lines show how the leading patterns move over 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days, for all crafts or for knitting or crochet only
  • The Top list reads like a music chart: the rank today and on the day you compare with, the best rank, the days in the chart, NEW and RE-ENTRY, and a small line for each pattern
  • For You matches today’s top 100 against your stash and your queue
  • New lists the patterns that entered this week, Trends shows which categories and yarn weights are rising, and Designers shows who is climbing
  • Evergreens are the patterns that have been in the top 100 on every recorded day
  • In live mode (24 hours) the chart keeps itself up to date, and the lines glide to their new places
  • Patterns and designers you have hidden stay hidden here too, without leaving gaps in the chart
  • On a phone the chart opens on the Top 10, on a tablet on the Top 30, a setting fits it to the height of the screen, and your chart settings follow you to your other devices

Live Rank On Hot Right Now (Beta)

  • Every pattern on the Hot Right Now list shows its place in front of its name (“4. Winter Apples”), also when a filter is on
  • A pattern’s statistics say when its rank was read (“place 3, today 21:40”), so the list and the statistics agree
  • A new Rank Over Time chart compares the pattern with today’s top 5 over the last 7 days

Your Pattern Control Centre (Beta)

  • The pattern PDF of a project gets a page of its own for the knitting
  • Before you cast on, it goes through yarn, needles, gauge and size, and the size stays your choice
  • While you knit, move through the pattern piece by piece, mark a step as done (and undo it), and see how far each piece has come
  • Keep your own notes, and read the original or the translated text
  • Page thumbnails open the reader at that page
  • Setting up a pattern from its PDF starts here, and you can see how far it has got or stop it
  • Moving to another PDF keeps everything you entered, and Start Over clears your plan and keeps the pattern set up

A Page For Beta Features

  • All beta switches live on one page in Settings, grouped into Hot Right Now charts, finding patterns and yarn, and tools
  • The page explains what beta means in Stash2Go and has a Send Feedback button, because your feedback decides which betas become regular features
  • A With AI group holds the Magazine, Studio, Colour Swatcher and Video Sharing switches, with a link to turning AI off altogether

Emoji While You Type

  • Type “:” in a forum post or a message and a small list of Ravelry emoji opens
  • Pick one and it goes straight into your text
  • When a topic does not take replies, the composer says so before you start writing

Numbers And Dates

  • On a tablet, number fields open a large keypad in the app; on a phone the usual keypad stays
  • Clear buttons really clear the field
  • On iPhone the date wheel only takes the date when you tap Select
  • A purchase date offers Today and Remove Purchase Date

Stash Amounts That Really Save

  • Changing how many skeins you have sometimes looked saved and was not. Now it really is
  • If a change to a stash, project or yarn amount does not go through, you are told so instead of seeing “saved”

Writing Without The Keyboard In The Way

  • Long posts and notes scroll inside one box, and the line you are typing stays above the keyboard
  • This covers the forum, messages, notes and the project, stash and queue forms, on Android and on iPad

Favourites And Designers

  • View Designer Patterns opens for every designer, wherever you start: a pattern, a person’s page, a saved search or the Magazine’s Designer in Focus
  • Add to Bundle always opens, even before your first bundle, and ends with Create Bundle, which makes the bundle and files the favourite into it in one go
  • View, on the message after you favourite something, opens the favourite right there

Calmer Ads For Free Accounts

  • No ads in your first three days
  • In a search an ad only appears next to results, never on suggestions or an empty page
  • On iPad it is a small centred banner with a quiet Remove Ads button
  • Closing an ad hides it for the visit, and the feed shows at most one

Smaller Fixes

  • On some Android phones, such as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, pages open faster
  • On iPhone the empty bubble at the top right of some pages is gone, and chart names are easy to read
  • When a row of tabs is too long to fit, the … menu at its end shows the rest again
  • A pattern’s notebook card explains that a tap on a switch adds it to your favourites, queue or library
  • The feedback form no longer fails in the browser
  • Hot Right Now shows the same order on every device

October 2, 2026

  • Your Taste In Every Search (Beta)
  • A Finish-By Date For Your Projects
  • A Favourite Tab
  • Story View On Every List
  • Adding Projects And Yarn
  • Richer Pattern And Project Pages
More information

Your Taste In Every Search (Beta)

  • With the taste switch on, your favourite categories now come along on every pattern search: New to Ravelry, Random, a designer’s or a yarn’s patterns, and every suggestion
  • The categories it adds sit in the search box with a small lock before you type a word, so a narrowed result explains itself
  • A line under the box says where they came from, with the switch to turn them off right beside it
  • On a phone all of this fits on one line, and tapping it opens the filters
  • A category you pick yourself takes the place of the ones from your taste

A Finish-By Date For Your Projects

  • Give a project the date it has to be done by, for a birthday, Christmas or a test knit
  • The project shows how many days are left
  • The date is marked on the project’s timeline
  • Start a project from your queue and the date on the queue entry comes with it

A Favourite Tab

  • Patterns, projects, yarns, stash, designers and shops you have favourited each get a Favourite tab
  • Read and change your note, tags and bundles on that tab
  • Notes and tags on the patterns inside a bundle are visible again
  • Tagging several things at once keeps the tags they already had

Story View On Every List

  • The large Story view with its photographs is available for your stash, bundles, friends, For You, favourites, top designers and search results
  • A project card has small pictures of its pattern and its yarn, and you can tap either
  • A bundle card shows what is in the bundle

Adding Projects And Yarn

  • Projects and stash use the same, shorter form
  • Save is at the top, above the keyboard
  • Pick the pattern for a new project from your library or your queue
  • Or type a pattern name, for a tester pattern or a design that is not on Ravelry
  • A plus button on your stash list adds a yarn
  • A yarn lists the projects it went into, and what is left is drawn as a row of skeins

Richer Pattern And Project Pages

  • A pattern’s Info tab gathers the essentials: its six most telling attributes, construction first, suggested yarn, a strip of the best project photos, the newest comments and the PDFs you can open
  • A project’s Info tab has its pattern, PDFs, needles and hooks, photos, comments, and its row counters, which you can count on right there
  • With Craft Value switched on, a pattern shows up to four findings from its statistics: its rank in its category, how often it gets made, how long it usually takes, and when it was last finished
  • On that page its Craft Value is drawn on a gauge, with a needle at the score, where a letter used to be
  • A PDF card shows the title and the language, and a private PDF kept on your other device tells you which one
  • A pattern source reads like a magazine: the cover, what is inside, every edition of the series in your library, and tabs for its designers, its most-loved projects and its statistics
  • The most important parts of a page come first, and the ad waits until after the first row
  • A colourway only shows a colour family when most of the makers who stash it agree on one

Pattern Search Knows What You Mean

  • Typing “socks” used to find sweaters knitted in sock yarn as well. Socks is a category, so the search now offers to look for socks only, with one tap
  • Leave things out: no colourwork, no lace weight, no hats
  • Search by an exact length of yarn, a hook size, or the year a pattern came out
  • Crochet terms work in a search
  • The number of results is shown in the search box, and you can share a search as a link

Hot Right Now, With A Memory

  • Ravelry shows what is hot today and keeps no record of yesterday. The app now notes the chart once a day
  • A pattern in the chart wears a small mark for how it is moving: new in the chart, rising star, on the climb, long runner, fading, and eight more
  • The mark shows in pattern lists in every layout, and on the pattern’s own page
  • A pattern’s statistics give its rank today, its best rank, and how many days it has spent in the chart
  • A knitting pattern also gets its place among knitting patterns, and a crochet pattern among crochet patterns
  • On a photo, the mark, Free and your heart share one small pill, so a title keeps its full width
  • The record began on 30 September. For now most marks say new in the chart, and the ones that look back over weeks, such as long runner, appear as the weeks go by

Basic, Advanced Or Classic

  • Basic, Advanced and Classic are one choice now, side by side, with a line saying what each is for. You may know them as Simple View, See Everything and Legacy View
  • In Basic, the shortcuts on Discover all fit, and a line at the end says where to switch when you want every entry
  • In Basic, a pattern’s page says whether it is in your favourites, your queue or your library
  • Classic pages for a project, a stash yarn and a yarn share one look, with large photos and text of one size
  • In Classic, a project’s row counters have a page of their own, and its dates are drawn as a timeline

Close-Ups In The Photo Strip

  • When a pattern or a project has only a few photos, the strip fills up with close-ups of the stitches
  • Each close-up is labelled with how far it is zoomed in, and it only goes as close as the photo is sharp
  • Tap a close-up and the gallery opens on it

Livelier Theme Scenes

  • The moving scenes behind some themes are redrawn, with better animals and a cat in the yarn
  • Shaded clouds, a proper sun, icebergs that look like ice, and stitches that look like real fabric
  • A yarn bench full of different skeins, and a notions tin for the Jewel Box theme
  • Fewer animals, spread more widely, and the Christmas tree and autumn branch are back in view
  • They move more smoothly and use less battery, and the scene picker shows how much each scene uses
  • You see the scene on every page: behind photos, under the search row, and while a page slides in

Talk To Bobbin (Beta)

  • Speak to Bobbin, and your words appear as you say them
  • Pause for a moment and what you said is sent
  • Bobbin reads what is on your screen, so you no longer copy a list across to ask about it
  • Stop an answer part way with one tap

Clearer Sorting

  • In stash, projects, queue and library, each card shows what the list is sorted by, in every layout
  • Sorts that never really worked are gone
  • “Newest added” in your library puts the newest first
  • “1 skein” reads as it should

Calmer, Steadier Screens

  • One loading animation everywhere
  • On Android, a new page slides in cleanly over the old one
  • Home tiles open with the numbers they had last time
  • Home tiles stay filled after the app has been in the background
  • Photos sharpen smoothly, with no dark flash
  • Your own tab order is there the moment a page opens, with no jump
  • One slider everywhere, with a small needle marking the value
  • Buttons at the top of a screen look the same everywhere, and say what they are to a screen reader. Save on the project form could not be seen against the header

A Steadier App

  • Every list and every detail page was rebuilt on one shared base, so searching, sorting, choosing several items and refreshing work the same way everywhere
  • Changing the sort on a long list no longer shows the same entries twice
  • When you change a search quickly, you see the results for what you typed last
  • On a shared device, each Ravelry account sees only its own hearts and notes
  • Reloading a page in the browser, or opening a shared link to it, no longer crashes it
  • Photos saved for offline use show again
  • On Android, the large page title shrinks smoothly as you scroll
  • Home no longer shows a back arrow after you return from a page

A Message When Something Worked, Or Did Not

  • Favouriting, queueing, stashing, adding to a bundle and more end with a short message saying whether it worked
  • The message sits at the bottom, stays out of your way, and goes away by itself
  • When a page cannot load, you are told so and given something to try next

Better On A Weak Connection

  • Switching networks, or coming back to the app, no longer shows you as offline
  • Searches and lists load again by themselves once you are back online
  • A bundle that could not be loaded offline says it has not loaded yet, rather than looking empty

Also Fixed

  • In yarn search, Certified Organic and the star ratings filter the results
  • In pattern search, the Source filter (book, magazine, web) really filters
  • Ravelry ignores the yarn filters for yardage, gauge and grams, so they are no longer offered
  • Forum unread badges go down as you read
  • Craft names appear in every language
  • Pattern attributes use the words knitters and crocheters use
  • Someone else’s queue entry can no longer be changed by accident, and tapping it opens the pattern
  • The add-photo card on a project sits clear of the tabs
  • Pattern PDFs open reliably on iPhone, and a PDF you have not bought is marked
  • “No PDFs” is no longer shown while PDFs are still loading
  • A pattern PDF that failed to open once is fetched fresh the next time
  • For You is refreshed with new patterns again. Its refresh had mostly failed since 27 September
  • From the iPad feedback round: feed filters, current projects, yarn photos that hold still, and a notes box that kept shrinking
  • On iPad, the last lines of a note stay above the keyboard
  • Signing in and out in the browser no longer ends on a blank screen
  • The web app on a phone looks like the app

September 7, 2026

  • A Help Sheet On Every Screen
  • A Feed You Can Steer
  • Search Inside Your Own Taste (Beta)
  • One Card For A Project, A Pattern, A Skein
  • Offline In The Order You Need
  • A Drawing For Every Kind Of Pattern
More information

A Help Sheet On Every Screen

  • Fifty-eight screens have a little “i” that explains them, where twenty-six did
  • The feed, settings, the forum and messages among them
  • Each sheet links the written guides that cover the same ground, in your language
  • One switch in Settings, Appearance turns the sheets and their “i” off together

A Feed You Can Steer

  • For You learns from the patterns you open, not from what happened to scroll past
  • Only what you choose counts: opening a pattern, hearting it, queueing it, adding it to your library
  • The cross on a card asks why: this one, this designer, this maker, or the whole category
  • “What the feed has learned” lists everything you hid, and shows it again on request
  • What the feed learns is kept with your account, so every device you use knows it
  • You can take it out with the rest of your data, or delete it on its own

Search Inside Your Own Taste (Beta)

  • A switch in advanced filters searches inside the categories you have been opening and hearting
  • Beta, and off until you turn it on in Settings, Appearance
  • It shows which categories it picked, and you can change them for a single search
  • A search that already names what it wants is left alone
  • Hiding a designer or a category now holds on every list, in search as well, and after a restart
  • What you have hidden is listed by name, in your own language, and can be shown again

One Card For A Project, A Pattern, A Skein

  • Story view drew a different card in every list. There is one card per kind of thing now, wherever you meet it
  • The photograph sits in its own shape instead of being squeezed into a box
  • Cards fill in while you scroll, and hearts and comments wait for their real numbers

Offline In The Order You Need

  • Projects and their row counters first, then stash, then queue, then the rest
  • A download that stops early still leaves you the important things
  • Your library comes down only if you ask for it
  • Before it starts you are told whether it is likely to fit on this device
  • If the phone runs short, the download stops, keeps what it saved, and says so

A Drawing For Every Kind Of Pattern

  • Ravelry files patterns under 207 categories and the app had a picture for none of them. Each one has its own line drawing now
  • Pattern attributes and fibres have their own drawings too, grouped so like sits with like
  • A pattern shows where it sits: shawl inside neck and torso inside accessories, with the broader steps quieter
  • Every step of that path is somewhere you can browse from

Reading A Pattern PDF

  • The reading guide follows your finger instead of hopping ahead or snapping back
  • The same arrows on iPhone and Android, so a screenshot means the same thing to whoever you send it to
  • A zoom Android could not actually draw is no longer offered there

The Magazine Loads Lighter (Beta)

  • Beta, and off until you turn it on in Settings, Assisted Features
  • Pictures come from us now, already sized for a phone, so an article opens quickly and costs far less data
  • An article whose picture cannot be fetched is shown without one, rather than with a hole where it should be
  • The article list is built a page at a time instead of all at once
  • The page no longer rearranges itself under you while the pictures arrive
  • Source, date and tags run the full width of a card, so a long publication name is not cut in half

Also Fixed

  • Filter projects by more than one status, hibernating and frogged together
  • Simple View follows the home screen arrangement you set in Settings
  • “Patterns for babies” filtered by age again, and an assisted search keeps craft, weight and category
  • The library tile counts the kind of publication you actually have
  • “New to Ravelry” really asks Ravelry for new patterns
  • Turning the phone no longer left a photo half off the screen, or threw you back to the first one
  • You are told when a new version is out, on iPhone and Android. Nothing is forced on you
  • The yarn scanner says it can be wrong and asks you to check, in all 26 languages
  • Forum photos load again after Ravelry stopped serving them for a week
  • An offline download could stop the app on an iPad with a big notebook
  • Logging in could send you through the first-run questions a second time
  • Loading screens were too tall and hid the moving backdrop
  • Settings switches stay with your account instead of one device
  • A tab bar with more tabs than fit now moves under a swipe, instead of hiding the rest behind a menu
  • Photographs no longer stay in memory once you have scrolled past them, so a long session stays quick
  • Buttons that are only an icon say what they are to VoiceOver. 154 of them so far
  • On an iPad, opening a dialog no longer forces the whole app back to portrait
  • An iPad window you have resized stays the size you left it
  • Only the owner of a project sees its edit forms, and the add-comment button stays clear of the tabs
  • A pattern source opens on its photographs, with what it is full of underneath
  • The layout picker described its layouts in English whatever language you read in
  • You can choose a different list layout on your phone and on your tablet
  • Pattern highlights always take a while. The wait no longer turns orange and blames your connection for it
  • Switching the taste profile on and then opening a pattern no longer showed it switched off again
  • A Beta chip, a switch and a wrapping title no longer sit on top of one another

August 29, 2026

  • Dye Your Own Theme
  • A Theme Gallery, So Themes Can Be Shared
  • Twenty-Two More Tiles For The Home Screen
  • Every Home Layout Offers Every Tile
  • Row Counters Keep Counting When The Signal Does Not
  • Send A Pattern PDF Straight Into The App
More information

Dye Your Own Theme

  • Make a colour theme of your own instead of picking one of the forty. In Settings, Appearance
  • Start from any theme you like and change what you want
  • Or take the colours from a photograph: a skein, a garden, a wall you like
  • Or describe the mood you are after in words, and let the app mix it
  • A proper colour picker, and you can type a colour in if you have one written down
  • The whole app wears your draft while you work, so you judge it where you will use it
  • Nothing is saved until you say so, and leaving puts your old theme back

A Theme Gallery, So Themes Can Be Shared

  • Themes other makers have published, alongside the app’s own forty. In Tools, Theme gallery
  • Heart the ones you like, and use anyone’s theme as your own
  • See how many people are using yours
  • Your themes are shared when you save them, unless you untick the box
  • Your name there is your Ravelry username, never your email address
  • You withdraw a theme from the gallery rather than deleting it out from under the people using it

Twenty-Two More Tiles For The Home Screen

  • Tiles about your own making, not just counts: Seasonal Rhythm, Who You Make For, What You Loved Making, Stash Turnover, How Long the Queue Waits, and more
  • They draw a shape where a shape says more: months as columns, your stash in its own colours, ratings as pips
  • My Library and My Queue are their own tiles now
  • The history tiles use the dates Ravelry keeps itself, and say so, because almost nobody types in a finish date
  • Every number, colour and small button inside a tile opens the thing it is about
  • Two to a row on a phone, six half tiles across on a big screen, nothing cut off
  • Every tile is described where you choose your tiles, in all 26 languages

Every Home Layout Offers Every Tile

  • Some tiles were out of reach unless you switched layout first. All three layouts offer the same set now
  • The Social Feed tile could never be shown at all, and now can

Row Counters Keep Counting When The Signal Does Not

  • A bad connection used to leave the counter button dead for a minute and a half, and lose the taps you made
  • Your tap is kept the moment you make it, so the number always moves under your finger
  • If it really cannot get through, the counters tab tells you

Send A Pattern PDF Straight Into The App

  • Share a PDF from your mail, files, browser or Ravelry and it lands in Stash2Go. iPhone and iPad could not do this at all
  • The pattern is kept for you, so it is still there when the original link has expired
  • It is on your other devices too, and filing it under a project stays optional

The Atmosphere Is No Longer A Beta

  • The gentle moving backdrop is offered to everyone now, and still starts switched off

“The App Feels Slow” Can Now Be Shown Rather Than Described

  • Switch on a recording for up to an hour, knit as usual, and send what it noticed with your feedback. In Settings, Diagnostics
  • It switches itself off afterwards, and costs nothing while it is off

Legacy View Sorts, And Reads Your Whole Notebook

  • Every choice in the sort menu really sorts now, your whole notebook included
  • Yarn remaining, yarn available, colour family and storage location work there too
  • You see how far it has got while it reads, instead of a turning circle
  • If a sort cannot be done, it says so instead of leaving the list as it was

My Library Was Slow, Letterboxed And Forgot Your Filter

  • The library opens straight away now
  • Covers are drawn in their real shape, taller than they are wide
  • Choosing books only, or magazines only, while it loads is no longer forgotten

The Android App Is A Good Deal Smaller

  • Roughly a quarter smaller to download and to keep on your phone

www.stash2go.com Rebuilt

  • A clearer front page, sharp screenshots you can open full screen, and support as a proper help hub
  • The guides in one place with a search, many of them with a short film
  • The version that is out, and a chart of what shipped when

Also Fixed

  • The Queue Matcher said there was no yarn for anything while the stash was full of it
  • Opening a project that never had a row counter quietly went wrong, every time
  • A soft pulse under every loading animation, so a quiet moment does not look frozen
  • A theme preview could come out as a black rectangle in dark mode
  • In the browser, long words broke in the wrong places in every language but English

One Offline Screen

  • Three screens with almost the same name become one, in Tools and in Settings
  • You choose what comes down, projects and stash included
  • You choose about photos: none, the first one, or all of them
  • A real progress bar that counts the steps, in your language
  • Stopping a download keeps what had already come down
  • A project you have not touched since last time costs nothing, so it is much quicker
  • Each kind of thing lists what is on your phone, and when it came down
  • Your PDF highlighting and markers come down with the project
  • Bundles come down with their contents
  • Your Ravelry profile is on the device, so opening without a connection no longer looks like being signed out
  • Anything that really needs a connection is switched off with a reason
  • The screen says what is truly still waiting to go up to Ravelry
  • The Magazine can be downloaded to read with no connection
  • “Flight Mode” is gone from the wording, in all 26 languages

Smart Pattern Reader

  • Auto-Setup works on your phone and tablet, not only in the browser
  • Tapping it while the PDF is still coming down now waits for it, and says so
  • A pattern can be worked from cast-on to bind-off
  • The charts in your pattern are shown, in the pattern’s own colours with a key
  • The row you are on is marked, the way a magnetic strip marks paper
  • Every row carries its stitch count, whatever the cast-on
  • Choosing your size: legible options, your answer in view, and you can change one
  • A pattern sized by number really changes with the size you choose
  • A sleeve told to repeat seven times repeated once
  • An instruction the reader did not recognise is kept as a note, in the designer’s own words
  • A chart row is read out in plain words rather than a run of symbols
  • Confirming a shaping reminder no longer leaves the counter stuck
  • A counter tap on a large pattern is quick again
  • Opening a shared link or a bookmark lands where it should, not on Home

The Feed

  • Flow: the photo, the title and who did what, tiled tight
  • Flow+: the same card, larger
  • Your choice follows you to your other devices
  • Pattern cards name their designer, the way project cards name their maker
  • In the browser, a long caption wraps instead of being cut off mid-word

Home Screen

  • Customize Home Screen arranges the layout you are actually on
  • One way to move each row: a handle where dragging works, arrows where it does not
  • Quick Access tiles can be reordered, and a long press opens the screen from any layout
  • Arranging your Quick Access tiles used to do nothing at all, however often you saved
  • Messages and Forum can be hidden from the picture tiles
  • On the basic layout the caption grows with the tile
  • A tablet no longer adopts your phone’s home layout

Bigger Screens

  • Discover and Tools use up to three columns on a large tablet, instead of two very wide ones
  • On Tools, storage and diagnostics no longer sit ahead of your own profile

Photos

  • Something to look at while a photo loads, and a proper mark when it is really gone
  • A small preview arrives first and the sharper picture follows, so lists fill quickly
  • A photo that arrived quickly could be hidden again for good, leaving a black card
  • A photo that failed once was written off for a month with no way to try again

When Something Goes Wrong

  • The three buttons on the crash screen do what they say
  • Report Issue really sends the report, and tells you whether it went
  • Try Again starts the screen over instead of putting the same broken thing back
  • One bad entry no longer takes the whole app down
  • One advert space per results screen, so a long browse no longer slows the app
  • The results are one continuous run of tiles again
  • Yarn search never showed an advert at all, and on a tablet it came out half size

Settings

  • Switching a beta feature on now says where to find it. Fifteen features covered
  • Your settings are kept for an account with no Ravelry connection
  • A change made on one device reaches the others straight away
  • Signing out can no longer overwrite your settings on your other devices

Your Language

  • Every language calls the stash a store of yarn. French read “my treasure”, Spanish “a smugglers’ cache”
  • Most languages were using two or three competing words at once
  • One word per language now, checked against what knitters really write. 1,625 pieces of wording
  • Spanish and Greek called Highlights hair highlights, and Swedish said a measuring device where it meant metres

Forums

  • Tapping a forum with an unread reply opens at that post
  • The forum card and rows say which topic is waiting, not only how many
  • Starred topics past the first few could not be reached at all. That list scrolls now
  • The reply button starts on Reply rather than Quote, on new installations. Nobody’s existing choice changes

Projects & Patterns

  • A project can name a pattern that is not on Ravelry, for a test knit or an unpublished one
  • Gauge: clearing a value sticks, a decimal can be typed, and gauge notes can be written down
  • The Colour Swatcher waits until you ask, instead of working on every pattern you open

Apple TV

  • The television speaks all 26 languages
  • It draws the app’s own craft illustrations, in the app’s real theme colours
  • The browse grid follows the photographs instead of boxing them in blurred bars
  • The end of a collection stops and returns home instead of looping forever

Also Fixed

  • Legacy View has a way to the calculators, Pattern Explorer, needles and insights
  • The delete control on a downloaded data type answers every press, and says why when it cannot
  • The knitting animation fits inside its card
  • The Friends feed could get stuck flickering between “no activity” and an error
  • An empty round button in the top-right corner of every detail screen is gone

  • Magazine
  • Colours & Readability
  • Home Screen
More information

Colour Swatcher (new, beta, off by default)

  • Give each colour the pattern uses one of your yarns, or any colour from the wheel, and the designer’s photos appear in your colours
  • Photograph a skein and the app takes the colour straight off it, so you can match yarn you are holding in the shop
  • Shadows and stitch texture stay where they are, so cables and folds still read as knitting
  • The app finds the pattern’s colours in the designer’s own notes, whether they are Colour A and B or MC and CC1
  • It paints the garment and leaves the background, the model’s face and her hands alone
  • It uses the designer’s photos, not other makers’ versions, so you compare against the original
  • Your yarn, your stash and your own photos never leave Stash2Go
  • Most popular patterns work. A cream jumper against a cream wall does not, and the app says so rather than guessing
  • On a pattern’s Yarns tab and a project’s pattern tab. Turn it on in Settings, Assisted Features

Your Own Tab Order

  • Drag the tabs on a pattern into the order you want: PDF first, then Projects, then Description
  • Set it once and every pattern opens that way, with its own order for projects, yarns, stash, people and bundles
  • No more opening the “more” menu for the tab you use every time
  • Your order follows your account, so phone, tablet and browser agree

Needles & Hooks

  • Lend out a needle that came from Ravelry. Only ones you had typed in yourself could be lent before
  • Name the Ravelry user who has it, or type any name if she is not on Ravelry
  • A lent needle shows on the badge, in its details and under the Loaned filter

Magazine

  • The Magazine opens on a different article each time, with the ones you have not read first

Colours & Readability

  • Buttons and links read clearly in every theme, light and dark. Some came out near black on a dark background
  • Dark mode is gentler at night. Cards and corners no longer glare on a dark screen
  • The craft drawings on the home tiles stay visible with the plainest surface style
  • Picking a theme shows all ten of its colours, as you will really get them
  • The arrow at the end of a row is one size and the theme’s own colour everywhere
  • A new installation starts on Citrus Burst, Light style. If you have already chosen a theme, nothing changes
  • In German the surface styles fit on the screen again

Home Screen

  • Tiles look the same on every device and simply get bigger or smaller
  • Phones keep three across. A tablet gets more tiles rather than bigger ones
  • Turn your phone sideways and the captions stay short and fit on the tile

Photos

  • Pattern and project photos from Ravelry are sharper. Many were shown far smaller than the picture Ravelry has

Stash

  • The Stash Matchmaker counts the yarn you still have, not what you bought
  • Yarn you marked “will trade or sell” is offered again. It is on your shelf until somebody takes it

Finding Patterns

  • Search inside a pattern list and your results stay. They used to flip back to the full list
  • In the browser, a pattern tile opens when you tap it

Your Language

  • Buttons say the right thing in all 26 languages. The Norwegian button for writing a forum post read as a fence post
  • Buttons are worded as instructions, so they read like the app is asking you to do something

Removing Ads

  • On a tablet the Premium page showed no way to buy anything at all
  • On a phone the plans were folded shut, so you saw a price but no button. They are open now
  • Settings opens with a shortcut to remove ads, instead of leaving it halfway down the Account list

Also Fixed

  • A pattern source with no cover picture no longer shows a large empty block
  • The picture across the top of a forum card follows the card’s rounded corners
  • Legacy layout: a tidier forum list, and lists no longer settle on older results

  • Weaving (new, beta, off by default)
  • Assisted Features

  • Row Counters
  • Tools
  • Stash
More information

Weaving (new, beta, off by default)

  • Weaving projects have their own tab: loom setup, sett, draft, warp planning, yarn, finishing and final measurements
  • The app works out the key numbers for you, and flags a figure that looks unlikely
  • WIF import and export, draft and rigid-heddle tools, and metric yarn counts
  • Every suggestion says where it came from and never overrides your own values
  • Planned and finished measurements stay separate

Assisted Features

  • Settings, Assisted Features begins with one switch that turns AI off completely, on every device you sign in on
  • While it is off, those features stay visible but locked, so you can see what was stopped
  • Switch it back on and your earlier choices come back exactly as they were
  • Every feature says what it sends, and whether anything leaves your phone at all
  • For pattern PDFs: only the passage you asked about, or the page text and a picture of a chart. The PDF itself is never sent
  • The full list is on the website at www.stash2go.com/ai.html

Feed

  • The For You feed follows the crafts you work in. Crocheters used to get an almost entirely knitted feed
  • With no projects yet you see everything, and you can still pick one craft to see on its own
  • Marking an item “not interested” now counts against that craft too
  • “Patterns Only” and “Projects Only” really filter now
  • Each feed has its own settings, on one compact card instead of a list mixing all three
  • The Friends feed has a switch for each kind of activity, saved with your account
  • Notes on feed cards come out properly laid out, headings and lists and all
  • The knitting animation holds still while the feed loads, and a normal load no longer warns you about your connection
  • Patterns opened from the feed no longer appear without photos

Row Counters

  • Setting up a row repeat works: the fields keep what you type, and the total row count stays right
  • The counter says which pattern row you are on and which pass, before, during and after the repeat
  • You choose how your pattern counts, “a total of 3 times” or “3 times more”, and see the result before saving
  • A repeat can run open-ended (“until the sleeve measures 44 cm”) and be finished where you stand
  • Settings lock once rows are worked, so a typo cannot re-interpret your knitting

Tools

  • The pooling calculator shows every stitch count again, in order, with “Best first” as a switch
  • Pooling results are named properly, worked out from your colour sequence and stitch count
  • Your yarn and recent colours in this tool are saved with your account, not on one device

Stash

  • The purchase date from Ravelry is shown on the stash detail page and in the list
  • The project yarn picker searches your whole stash, and leaves out yarn you have used up or traded away

Appearance

  • Enhanced Contrast genuinely raises contrast: darker text, stronger lines, clearer card edges, in every theme
  • A short guided setup helps you choose a look, and switches light and dark as you go so you judge on the real screen
  • A “Need help choosing a style?” box starts it again, and can be switched off

Forums

  • Archived topics can be shown alongside the rest. Ravelry only shares ones you have read before
  • A reply notification shows the topic title instead of just a number

Patterns & Library

  • The classic pattern page shows your pattern PDFs as thumbnails, like the modern view
  • The PDF tab on a library volume is always there, and PDFs from elsewhere open the same way

  • Magazine (beta, off by default)
  • Photos
  • Row Counters
  • Stash
  • Feed
More information

Craft Value (new, beta, switch on in Settings)

  • A grade based on how often a pattern is really knitted or crocheted, not just saved for later
  • A pattern with 20,000 favourites and almost no finished projects is a very different pattern from one with 800 and hundreds
  • Each pattern is measured against patterns from its own year, so a new design is not judged against a decade of head start
  • Knitting and crochet are counted on their own terms
  • A Statistics tab shows the numbers behind a grade, and says when there is not enough to give one
  • A “Top Craft Value” list you can narrow with the full pattern filters
  • Designer pages show how a designer’s grades spread, a signature pattern and their strongest category
  • Craft Value reads in all 25 app languages
  • In beta while the grading settles. If a grade does not match your experience of a pattern, tell us

Magazine (beta, off by default)

  • Articles have something to say about a pattern rather than repeating what is on Ravelry
  • Every pattern, designer and yarn a story mentions is tappable right there in the text
  • Hide an article, rate a story, sort by what has been read most, and browse a tag cloud
  • New sources from designer blogs, so more of it comes from the people who design the patterns

Photos

  • Adding a photo opens a full-screen editor everywhere: crop, rotate, flip, brightness, filters, drawing, text and stickers
  • Pick several photos at once and edit each one before they upload
  • Full-screen photos pinch to zoom, so you can look closely at a cable or a colour change

Row Counters

  • Counters keep counting with no signal, and catch up when you are back online
  • If the same counter moved on two devices, you are shown the clash and you decide
  • A linked counter advances at the same moment in the app, on the widget and on your watch

Stash

  • Each entry shows its length, how many skeins and its weight without opening it

Feed

  • A quiet designer you have favourited reaches your feed instead of being crowded out

Getting Started

  • First launch is a calm sequence of steps, one decision at a time

Settings & Account

  • Your settings save the moment you change them, and come back on any device you sign in on
  • Premium is recognised again when the shop has nothing to say about it
  • More of the app in your language, settings and appearance included

Fixes

  • Project sorting matches the Ravelry website: in progress by when you started, finished by when you finished
  • With no connection, Projects and Stash say so instead of flickering
  • Large page titles no longer flicker while scrolling on iOS, and Favourites returns you where you were
  • The home-screen widget follows your phone’s light and dark setting
  • Yarn shops from both Ravelry and Google appear properly on the map
  • Forum buttons are readable again, and the details under a post are in a sensible order
  • The drawings on the home tiles show properly in the browser

Studio

  • The colour fade is built from the real colours in your own yarn photos, not a generic swatch
  • Studio is one route, from Studio to Color Cathedral to Multi-Yarn Matchmaker to the pattern, and back

Widgets (iOS)

  • Widgets show exactly what the app shows, in the same order
  • All tile widgets share one square, picture-focused look, and follow your light and dark setting
  • Tapping a pattern, yarn, project, shop, stash item or topic opens that exact thing

Row Counter Widget

  • The project picker no longer comes up empty, and respects a pinned project (iOS)
  • On Android the widget loads your projects instead of an empty “open the app” box

Library & Patterns

  • Pattern Library has filters, and tidier saved searches
  • A pattern update can be applied inside Stash2Go, with no trip to the Ravelry website
  • A banner tells you when an update is waiting, on the pattern and on the volume
  • On a book or magazine page, tapping takes you to all the patterns from that source

Messages

  • A conversation could take nearly a minute to open. It takes a couple of seconds now

Themes

  • New and brighter themes, including a Pride rainbow, and a tidier look throughout

Forums

  • Forum pages scroll more smoothly

Stash

  • Entering how much you used in grams now fills in the right length in metres

Browsing

  • Project search opens fresh and waits for you to type, but keeps your place when you come back

Account & Premium

  • No more random “session expired” logouts
  • Premium recovers by itself after a purchase that showed an error but had gone through

Layouts

  • A Legacy layout alongside Basic and Advanced, bringing back the older Stash2Go 2 arrangement

Camera & Scanning

  • The camera opens when you scan a yarn label or add a stash photo on Android. The phone used to buzz and show nothing
  • “Scan Yarn” opens the camera for the label, instead of jumping to the yarn list

Stash

  • Editing a stash yarn’s colour or number of skeins saves properly, with no false “Update failed”
  • A mark shows while your stash changes and their photos go up to Ravelry, so you can see it saving

Needles & Hooks

  • Newly added needles and hooks appear in your toolbox right away, and tools that were saved but hidden show up again

Projects

  • Picking a project’s yarn no longer shows your stash as empty when you have yarn in it

Sign-In

  • Signing in with no connection says so, instead of showing a puzzling sign-in error

Browsing

  • Returning from a pattern to the list keeps your scroll position instead of jumping back to the top

  • The cropping screen no longer runs under the title at the top or the buttons at the bottom

  • Android settings now show correctly whether the app may use your camera, your location and your photos

  • Pattern PDF Tab
  • A Steadier App
  • Smaller Improvements

  • The stash picker shows every colorway separately instead of lumping a yarn together, with its colour family

  • Stash amounts follow the units you prefer, with a toggle to flip them and a warning when you allocate more than you have
  • Adding yarn to your stash now offers to add a photo

Pattern PDF Tab

  • The PDF tab is always there: paid, free on Ravelry, free elsewhere, or any mix
  • Free patterns preview instantly without adding to your Ravelry library

  • Widgets on iPhone bring in today’s information instead of yesterday’s
