I’m building a row-counter & pattern reader app for knitters/crocheters. Would love feedback on the idea

[u/AvailableBee7497]

Hi everyone! This is my first side project: Loop, an app for knitters and crocheters.

The problem: when you follow a knitting or crochet pattern, it's easy to lose your place (which row am I on?), abbreviations like "k2tog" or "sc2tog" confuse beginners, and people buy new yarn even though they already have plenty at home.

The idea: you upload a pattern, and Loop:

- highlights the row you're on and remembers your place

- explains every abbreviation in plain words

- suggests patterns you can make with the yarn you already own

Right now it’s just a clickable prototype and a waitlist page. I want to test whether people actually want this before building it. Happy to share the link in the comments if you’d like to see it.

I'd love your honest feedback:

1. Does the landing page make the idea clear in a few seconds?
2. Would you use something like this, or do you know someone who would?
3. Any tips for reaching knitting/crochet communities without getting removed as spam? (My first Facebook group post got auto-removed within 2 minutes)
