Field notes
The planned workflow combines size-specific highlighting with a place-holding ruler and separate counters for rows, repeats, and decreases. The page says those marks can be cleared without changing the pattern file, and describes the app as coming soon to the App Store. Its name pairs “marl,” yarn made by twisting two colours together, with “pin,” a stitch marker or knitting needle.
