Crochet, apps, and music

Keeping crochet human.

I’m Natalie. I crochet, I build apps for makers, and I make music about all of it. Come make with me.

Crochet Calculator

Designing is the fun part. Counting is not.

Crochet Calculator is for crocheters who write their own patterns and are tired of tally marks, second guessing, and ripping out a round because the count drifted. Tap each stitch, or type the row the way you would say it, and the app keeps the count and checks it as you go. When the piece is done, you have a clean, shareable pattern instead of a page of scribbles.

What you get

  • Tap or type. The stitch count keeps up either way.
  • A live check that catches a wrong number the moment it happens, not rounds later.
  • Rounds, rows, and ovals, plus post stitches, bobbles, foundation stitches, and crab stitch.
  • Reusable blocks for the pieces you make often, like sleeves, ears, and flat circles.
  • Colors, notes, and photos kept right on the row.
  • A finished pattern you can save, print, share, or sell, with your name on it.

Write your next pattern as you make it.

Keeping crochet human

AI in its place, behind the scenes.

Keeping crochet human means using AI the right way: as a tool in a maker’s hands, never as a replacement for one. I use it behind the scenes to build things that give you time back, catch pattern mistakes, and handle the tedious math, so you get to the fun part faster.

Helping us, not taking from us

My tools do the busywork so real makers can spend more time actually making. AI in the loop, never on the throne.

No slop, no fakes

The web is filling up with AI slop patterns and fake crochet photos of things no one ever made. They cheat buyers and hurt real designers. I build the opposite.

Transparent about it

Yes, I use AI to build these tools, and I’ll always tell you so. Used honestly, in service of a human, is exactly the point.
