This is a system for knitters and crocheters alike to organize their yarn and projects in an easy to use way!

To use, download all files and run Jar from command line

Our inspiration was team member Ella's struggle to keep all her fiber art projects in one place, along with keeping track of her yarn.

It keeps track of both a user's yarn storage and projects under a login system. It allows you to add and remove yarns from your storage, along with adding and removing items from a "shopping cart" of yarn you need. The project feature allows users to add and delete "projects", which include a name, a pattern link, and the yarn needed. The projects are organized into three queues, in queue - work in progress - complete.

We built this project using Java and the database through Google Cloud Platform.

We ran into a few issues with the database interacting with preexisting Java code and making that work together. However, after testing we figured out the problems together and worked towards a solution.

We are very proud of our implementation of the Google Cloud Platform, as none of us have worked in the cloud before or implemented it into a project. It took awhile and a lot of testing, but we are very happy to have it implemented.

We learned a lot about database management and UI menu systems, both of which will support our education and careers in the future.

Next, we plan to expand this into a full desktop app that will synch with a mobile app, so that you can add and remove items from storage and your shopping cart on the go, along with being able to check your shopping cart while at the store.
