10 DIY and Crafting Apps for Your Next Project

This handy app is a must-have for knitters and crocheters. Between chatting in forums, uploading photos of your works in progress, and finding your local yarn stores, there's not much that this app can't do. But the real shining feature of Stash2Go is the ability to sync with Ravelry to keep all of your patterns in one place.

Whether you want to browse their almost endless selection of patterns or go shopping for some yarn, Red Heart's app has you covered. Plus, it's free! For crafters who find themselves daydreaming about yarn, this app is a must-have.

Because Ravelry does not have its own platform, apps like Ravulous have appeared on the market for those makers who just can't get enough of knitting and crochet. Ravulous syncs with your Ravelry account, so you can see all of your saved patterns. It also has the stash log feature, which lets you keep track of what yarn you have left. That way you don't have to worry about accidentally doubling up on yarn when you're doing your yarn shopping. What a lifesaver!

Calling all knitters -- StashBot is the app you've been waiting for. We all know the nightmare of trying to figure out knitting gauge and estimating how much yarn you will need to complete the project. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. StashBot does all of this work for you. Simply put in the information for the project that you're working on, and StashBot will calculate the amount of yarn you should need to complete it with decent accuracy.

For gardeners, there's no greater joy than getting your hands dirty. But the hard part is in planning the garden! This spring, as you start to think about how you want your flower beds to look, give iScape a try. This intuitive app lets you take a photo of your yard and plan a garden by dragging and dropping plants into place. For visual learners, this app is a must-have.

Whether you're looking to completely redo your decor or you simply want to rearrange a room, the Houzz app is a great way to put your ideas into action and get inspired by home decor. Houzz's app has examples of just about every style of interior design that you can imagine. There's also a tool where you can take a photo of a room and virtually redesign it, removing the trial and error of planning out your decor the hard way.

If you're a knitter who's a bit of a perfectionist, Gaugefy is the app for you. Measuring your knitting gauge is a hassle, especially when you're knitting on the go. Gaugefy is basically a gauging swatch for your phone!

Counting rows and stitches? Keeping track can be a real headache. This Crochet and Knit Counter app will do the hard work for you, so you can focus on enjoying every last minute of your craft.

If you're an avid sewist, you've probably got a collection of fabric that's, well, disorganized. That's just what happens when you get creative! The Cora app helps you keep track of your stash, organize it in a way that makes sense, and even find new fabric for that next big project.

Just about everyone has Pinterest these days, but if you haven't discovered the joys of this wonderful app, it's an essential for crafters, makers, and DIYers. You can pin your favorite projects, ideas, and articles into various boards, so you will have your ideas organized the next time you're feeling creative.
