Knitting Patterns Database

Knitting Patterns Database

KPD database is a free unique and comprehensive suite of tools designed for knitters & crocheters that catalogs PDF patterns enabling you to find patterns that match your knitting requirements and more.

Unsure what can be knitted from your stash of wool, then this is an ideal app for you! Impulse buying no longer required, take the app with you to the wool shop and use it to match yarns to your patterns & check if you need to buy more needles.

The app adds new patterns to the database and you can then edit specific fields such as the pattern Name, Gender, Garment Type, Yarn Type, Yarn Weight / Length, Needles, Gauge, Rating, Notes etc.

Once you have updated a few patterns you will be able to use the Filter option to only list the patterns for those matching fields.
For example, if you want to knit a JUMPER for a BABY and you only have 150 grams of 4ply YARN and size 11 NEEDLES then filter to only show you the patterns that match these requirements.

Pressing a result will open the pattern using an installed PDF app like the free Adobe Reader.

Now with "My Yarns".
List available yarns that are suitable for a chosen pattern or list patterns that can be completed using a particular 'my yarn'.

Also comes with handy knitting calculators and more:
ounces to grams
needles to wool size
sleeve reduction
row increase/decrease calculator
2 sock pattern generators
yarn substitutions, including feet, yards, meters, ounces and grams.
abbreviations reference
multiple row / repeat counters with or without pattern text display
button spacing calculator
needle sizes reference
pattern gallery view
star ratings
gauge/tension
built in pattern browser for easier downloading of patterns
built in web page to PDF conversion for patterns not available as a PDF download
add pattern images from pattern, camera or file
add and edit all categories, i.e. add a new garment type "hats"
my needles, catalog your own needles
my yarns , catalog your yarn stash
PDF pattern image & text extraction
size guides - tops, hats, socks, gloves etc
and much more...

Stylophoney

Thu, 16 May 2013 22:12:57 +0000

piano keyboard organ synth stylophone

Stylophoney is a take on the original iconic electronic box of wires and transistors. One of the most bizarre inventions of all time, the Stylophone brought electronic music to the masses in 1970.

The Stylophone was invented by accident (how else?) and kids presenter Rolf Harris was the ideal face to launch the product. It wasn’t just amateur musicians who warmed to the Stylophone; David Bowie wrote Space Oddity using one, and bands like Pulp still use them.

Stylophoney replicates the original sounds including vibrato and the curious stylus click sounds.

Options to record and playback your compositions including tempo and loop options.

A songbook with 40 tracks for you to try and replicate.

Pitch control so that you can tune your Stylophoney to any other instrument you may have.

Go on your deserve a bit of fun!
