[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Fancy row counter

[Dixie]

Tracy, that rubber ring possibly can be found at the hardware store as an
"o" ring.

Subject: [NFB-Blind-Crafters] Fancy row counter

 

When Debbie T? Was asking about knitting row counters, I Googled and found
one at Etsy that caught my fancy.  And then it was on sale!  $16, instead of
the regular $25.  It's called Shorty knitting row counter, from
JillsBeadedKnitBits. 

I bought one, and it came today.  I chose "blue owl".  It's a string of 10
beads, with a rubber ring between 2 beads, a lobster clasp on one end and an
enameled owl charm on the other end.  The beads are blue, and the owl is "in
colorful shades of red, green, and yellow", according to Be My AI.

I can hook the lobster clasp onto a stitch marker on my project, or onto my
knitting bag.  Either way, it will always be handy.

 

I think it would be easy to make, and I'm going to look at my supplies to
see if I can make a second one.  All that's needed is a clasp (not a
toggle), beading wire, round beads, a rubber ring big enough to be pushed
over the beads and small enough not to slip over by mistake, like a rubber
stitch marker, and a charm to finish.  Fun, right?
