[NFB-Krafters-Korner] ideas for a friend row counting

[Tanya VanHouten]

I'm with you Tracy - I have found that the abacus is versatile for keeping up 
with many things as long as I can remember what I'm keeping up with, ha ha. I 
have also used a stitch counter on my iPhone. The app is free. It is called 
K&C Counter. You can decrease rows if you have to tink. You can name projects 
allowing you to have more than 1 project at a time.

I use an abacus for row counting.  I can also use it to count in multiple 
columns, for example, count rows and count repeats, such as "work this 10-row 
pattern 5 times".

Good Morning Renae and everyone, M and M's won't work at all for me, I'll 
probably eat them all _before I even get to the next row, lol.
I might use pennies instead.

I have little counters that I have, that are small manipulatives we use for 
teaching math to kids. I also have used tiny food items. For example, if I 
have 10 rows, I will put 10 raisin or Eminem's or whatever in a bowl. When I 
finish one row, I take one raisin. As long as it's a healthy snack, you 
shouldn't get you into trouble. LOL
