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

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

I use a 24 peg loom and move a key ring from peg to peg.  This is portable.
I also have a spring loaded holder for quarters.  I remove 1 for each row and when done with the sequence, I put them back in the holder.

Stitch markers can also be helpful in counting rows.  People use a life line to mark the beginning and end of a patern, so if a mistake is made, the stitches can be wripped out, up to the life line and stitched over.
If it is a simple patern where the ccount does not matter, I do not count, but just measure for the  length I want.

Hope this helps.

HI.

I have recently joined a vision impaired local knitting group.  One of the girls was asking about the best way to count rows while knitting.  I told her i either use the row counter app on my iphone, or write down the row i am up to on my braille display and then simply change the number as i go. She was wondering if anyone else had other ways they count rows?
