Info

Yarn Buddy is a knitting pattern design app conceptualized during the Bubble Masters course. Designed in Figma and partially implemented, this project aims to simplify the complex and time-consuming process of creating and testing knitting patterns. Currently in its early stages, Yarn Buddy is a work in progress with the goal of becoming a market-ready solution for knitting designers.

Research
As a knitter myself, I reached a point where I wanted to create my own knitting pattern. I searched for a tool that would allow me to draft a knitting schematic easily and enjoyably. Unfortunately, the only existing tools were either outdated and no longer supported or difficult to use. I was surprised that nothing like this existed in the market. Especially considering that knitting is making a comeback, with more young people taking it up, knitting and yarn fairs being organized in both large and small cities, and many knitters creating patterns for sale.
During the Bubble Masters course, I decided to create such a tool - simple, pleasant, and in Polish, so that older people would also have the opportunity to use the application. Having connections in the pattern-creating community, I designed a survey and conducted several interviews that highlighted the biggest challenges faced by knitters and provided insights into the tools they currently use - with all their drawbacks and advantages. After analyzing all the collected data, I began working on the application.
Design & Dev
Once I knew the features I wanted to include in my final project, I started sketching individual screens. Then, I began developing more detailed designs in Figma.
This was the shortest stage in my project - I didn't want to spend too much time on it to ensure I completed the project for the course. I quickly moved to Bubble and started building the interface.

I successfully completed the final project for the course. But in reality, this is just the beginning of my journey with my first Bubble application. I plan to develop it with additional functionalities and hope to release it for testing soon. Wish me luck!
