Our Story

From a side project to a crafting companion

Stash2Go started as a simple idea: make Ravelry easier to use on the go. What began as a solo side project in 2013 has grown into a full-featured companion app used by knitters and crocheters around the world.

2013

Stash2Go for iOS

The original Stash2Go launched on the App Store - bringing Ravelry to iPhone for the first time. Built as a native iOS app, it gave crafters a way to browse patterns, manage their stash, and track projects without wrestling with a desktop website on a small screen.

Stash2Go for Android

Android crafters joined in - Stash2Go arrived on Google Play. The Android version brought the same core experience to a wider audience, and the community started to grow.

Apple TV, Apple Watch & Yarn Pooling

Stash2Go arrived on Apple TV - one of the first knitting apps on the big screen. Apple Watch support let you track rows from your wrist. The Pooling Generator simulated planned pooling patterns for variegated yarn.

Growing Up

Both apps received regular updates: offline mode, better search, photo management, forums, and messaging. Stash2Go became a daily companion for thousands of crafters.

A New Logo & Android Beta

The community voted on a new logo - and the iconic pink yarn ball was born. Stash2Go got a fresh identity that it still carries today. A new Android beta program let users test upcoming features early.

The Quiet Years

Updates slowed to a trickle - an occasional burst here and there, but nothing like the early years. Maintaining two separate native codebases as a solo developer proved unsustainable. The app still worked, but it wasn't getting the attention it deserved. Behind the scenes, work began on a complete rewrite.

2025

Stash2Go II

A complete rewrite for iOS, Android, and the web - built from the ground up with a modern design, 30 color themes, and powerful new features like Stash Matchmaker, Personal Feed, assisted tools, and project insights. Also available on Apple TV and Google TV.

Still Growing

Stash2Go II continues to evolve with new features, improvements, and ideas from the community. Built by a crafter, for crafters - and still a labor of love. Join the Stash2Go forum on Ravelry for help, new ideas, or to report bugs.
