KnitMeter.com Beta
My wife has gotten seriously into knitting in the past year and was recently wondering about how much she had knit in the past year. I was surprised that there doesn’t seem to be a website for tracking such information, so decided to make one for her (and for anybody else who might want it).
The concept is pretty simple - just put enter how much you knit each day and it will add it up for you and can summarize it by project. It generates a little widget that knitters can put on their blogs to compare with others.
The site still needs a little work here and there, but is pretty functional at this point. Users are free to sign up and try it out - all for free of course. I’m looking for user input to see what still needs some work.

Cool idea. I sent this to my sister who has a friend who is nuts for knitting. Hopefully she signs up.

I like that idea too, but I have a question. How do you know of how much you knitted. Do you measure yarn as you go?

You can either do it when you finish a known length of yarn (ie: a skein that has 60 yards), or when you finish a project (ie: I used 3.5 skeins with 60 yards each).

Hi, I just saw this widget on another blog, and there isn’t much info on knitmeter.com, so I was just wondering if one can get the measurements in metric?

Line: Yes, once you log in, you can specify metric units (meters / kilometers). You can also specify English units in feet/yards/miles as well.
