Hi Staci and Casey, awesome podcast as always! I also loved listening to Ian and his fantastic Irish accent. Thanks for all the great interviews Casey.
I thought Heather might be interested in a ring counter? I’ve always used a row counter on my needles and it really is just habit. I’d be lost without it. But I recently found this really cool ring counter. You wear it on your index finger so you can always see which row you are on. It’s fantastic for keeping track of cable patterns.
I know Knitters Pride have a standard black version, but these ones are made for gamers, and I was dazzled by the rainbow version – I love it! They have blue and gold versions too.

Oops.. if people are wondering about why I mentioned Ian…. I’m catching up on old podcasts, as well as listening to new ones and in my mind I linked the old and the new together!
The Irish interview was podcast #76 – I recommend going back for a listen 🙂
Best,
Tanya
Hey Ladies! Just listening to the podcast and thought of this when the lady was asking about row counters

Love the podcast ?
I don’t know why there was a question mark after my comment ????
Hi Ladies – Love listening to the podcast! The header image for this post shows a lovely dark blue/gray sweater with the most perfect cowl-y turtleneck. Any idea what the pattern is? Thanks!
Hi Emily – that is a rotating image, so it’s always different…but I think it’s this poncho:

A proactive lifeline or just a clip marker would sort of work for tracking rows.
If you know your lifeline or clip is on the last row of a repeat it gives you someplace to start counting from.
