[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Keeping my place in a long lace pattern

[Cathie McManus]

Hi Tracy,
I would use a stitch marker after what you have done that way you can see where you are if you need to check how you are going across the row.
Yes there will be a few markers, but at least you can track your work.
I hope this make sense to you.
This is what I do when I have a large lace pattern to follow.
Cheers Catherine and Guide dog Penny.

I'm working a 54-stitch lace pattern with no repeats, and I'm having some trouble keeping my place in it.  Tracking the rows is simple, but along the row not so much.

I have a braille hard copy of the chart.

I look at a couple bits, for example k5, k2tog, do that, then look at the next bit.  But it's easy to get lost somewhere in the middle of the row.  Is this the k2tog where I was?

Each row takes up a few lines in the braille copy, but it's easy to confuse the lines.  Mark my line with a paperclip, maybe?

Anyone have any ideas as to how to keep my place?

Tracy
