I LOVE Stitchminder and can't wait for Knitminder. When using Stitchminder is there a way to save one project to work on another? Right now I am using this App for a lace shawl I am knitting. I can't thank you enough for Stitchminder when it comes to lace work. However, I am also working on a pair of cabled socks and I would love to keep count of these as well. Is there a feature already or are you working on an update?
Thanks for such a wonderful and useful App!
Cheers,

First of all, kudos on the Stitch Minder! It was like you guys read my mind or something. However, what would be _really_ useful (even for those of us who are mathematically-minded) would be an app that could automatically calculate how to split up your increases and decreases when the pattern blithely says "Inc from 37 st to 64 st in the following row" (or something equally hairy). I have spent far too much time counting little marks on paper, trying to get fairly even separation for my increases/decreases ("k4, M1, k4, M1, k3, M1..." repeat x times etc.) It seems like something that should be fairly easy to calculate automatically, given the proper inputs, and you could probably even add it as an option on the Stitch Minder. (I'm sure everyone will want both.)

Keep it up! This is great!

I love StitchMinder!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Of course, with that being said, I've got a few suggestions...

1. Have a list of different projects and counters for each. Who isn't working on 20 things at once, raise your hand (might want to put down the yarn first though)!
2. Have an "undo" button - for those times you get halfway across the next row and realize you messed up on the previous and have to frog.
