Project Log Generator
Summarize yarn, gauge, counts, and notes.
How Project Log Generator Works?
The Project Log Generator works by counting the Project Specs you have recorded and marking the Log Status as each part of the log is filled. A full log holds 8 specs: yarn, needles or hook, gauge, stitches, rows, size, dates and notes.
List the specs
Write the yarn name, weight, colour and dye lot, then the needle or hook size.
Add gauge and counts
Add the swatch gauge and the final stitch and row counts from your counters.
Count each spec
Tap the count pad or press Space for each spec you fill in.
Close the log
Press → to set Log Status to 1 when the log is complete.
Project Log Generator Formula
The Project Log Generator formula is log completeness = specs filled ÷ 8 × 100. Yarn used equals starting yarn minus leftover yarn.
- Completeness
C = specs ÷ 8 × 100Eight specs make a full log.
- Yarn used
Used = start grams − leftover gramsWeigh leftovers at the end.
- Yards used
Yd = used grams × label yards ÷ label gramsUse the yarn label.
Worked example: A log with 6 of 8 specs is 75% complete. Starting with 500 g and ending with 62 g means 438 g used, about 964 yd (881 m) at 220 yd per 100 g.
