Brilliant!

Slowly, but surely, I'm learning to knit. I've run into a bit of a snag, though. How am I supposed to keep track of my rows? How should I count them out? I'm sure experienced knitters have a bunch of cool tricks up their sleeves, but I've resorted to tying knots in a leftover strand of yarn. (Not especially glamorous, but it works.)

Today I stumbled across this idea. Sheer brilliance! I've been inspired by Denise's Row Counter Bracelet. What a simple, elegant solution. (The bracelet works like a simple abacus.) I will certainly craft one of these cool bracelets sometime in the near future.
