That is a great option.  I use the abacus.  I tried looking for the app
someone suggested Counter but it came up with a few options.  Could that
person send out which counter app they use please.
Thanks.

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.
