(1888PressRelease) January 13, 2012 - Introducing KnitSpeaker, a new iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad app for knitters created by experienced teacher and knitwear designer, Leslye Solomon. The patent-pending app enables the knitter to listen to each step of a knitting pattern at a customized pace instead of depending on memory or constantly referring to a fixed, printed pattern. The portable companion to your favorite project, KnitSpeaker helps to increase the speed, efficiency and enjoyment of knitting advanced, complicated stitch patterns, all while reducing the chance of making mistakes.

"KnitSpeaker makes knitting even more accessible and enjoyable, like having someone quietly reading the difficult-to-remember, complicated series of steps of your stitch pattern," notes Solomon. "Spending only a few minutes entering the stitches and rows of the pattern repeat can save hours of constantly referring to directions on a printed page. "

KnitSpeaker makes it easy to input the steps of a stitch pattern repeat, selecting from extensive, voice-linked knitting abbreviations, words, and numbers to build the contents of each row of the pattern. Then, KnitSpeaker app users can personalize just the right amount of time for them to knit each step using the "time-spacer." Unlike a fixed, printed pattern, users can enjoy using the enlarged size of type viewed on a mobile device.

Whether the app is used by new or experienced knitters, or those with memory, hearing or visual impairments, KnitSpeaker combines the ancient craft of knitting with the amazing functionality of today's mobile technology.

KnitSpeaker can be found on the Apple iTunes App Store for $5.99. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/knitspeaker/id480244136?mt=8
