Linda,
So good to see you!
I usually have the pattern written out in an Excel spread sheet. Then
navigate through the rows and columns for the parts of the pattern. I make
a mark at the end of the row I just finished and save the pattern. Then the
next time I go back I know where to start from. I also leave notes on the
pattern where I have inserted lifelines in case I have to rip back, I know
exactly where to start from .
Finally, I use lots of Way-Tags. I use them on the yarns to mark the
skeins. I use one on every project so if I put the project down for a day,
a week, a month, 10 years, I know exactly what the project is. I clip on
the Way-Tag with a locking stitch marker.
I note on the Way-Tag the name of the project, color and yarn that is used,
needle size, what rows my lifelines are inserted into, and what row I left
off on.
And for anyone who doesn't know what a Way-Tag is. They are small button
like or magnetic tags created for the blind. There is an app for the phone
or a way-tag reader that has a form to fill in. So, I scan the tag, fill in
what fields I want for the item I am marking, hit the create button, scan
the tag and the information is written to that tag.
You can see more about them here:

Hi all,
I am knitting an afghan with cables. How do you keep up on what row your're
on. I use my abacus but is there anything else?
Thanks.
