I love the #KnitCompanion app; it’s not just for #knitting! I’ve set up my #100Circles #Blackwork sampler (kit from https://thesteadythread.com/).

I scanned all the charts into my iPad with the JotNot scanner app. Exported to dropbox. Imported to KnitCompanion. Set up new project. Pasted all scans together into one big chart. Included color key.

Now I can highlight and zoom in on my current circle, and gray out the completed ones with the scribble feature! @fiberarts

@Kayray Beautiful start! 😍
I have read some comments that some folks thought their isolated stitching bits (like circles or hexagons filled with patterns) look better/neater doing the stitched bits first and the outline afterwards, which is opposite the notes Clare writes. I am going to try this and see if I find it better than outline first (which I am inclined to do).

@Siniful I did outline first for my first two circles, and outline second for the next two. I’d say it’s definitely more tidy to do outline last — but easier to do outline-first 😁
