<div class="x_WordSection1">
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The chain row counter is a lightweight chain of 10 links with a little charm at one end, so you know which end is which. In between each link is a small plastic circle with a print number on it. Not useful
to me, but whatever. Theres also a little thing hanging on the chain that you can move to mark that youre counting past 10, but I havent used that.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The chain links come in different sizes for different needle sizes. I bought one for medium-sized needles and one for larger needles. The larger links will fit any needle size, of course.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">There are lots of charms to choose from. I chose the little dog and the sheep.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This is how it works. You put the counter at the beginning of the row. When you come up to it, you put the right-hand needle through the next link in the chain and slip the counter from the left needle
to the right. Then, when you want to know what row youre on, you count the links from the beginning, and the one thats on your needle is the row number youre at. Very simple, and very portable.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Each counter costs $25, but they look like they will last.</span></p>
