I have just purchased a great knitting gadget. I don't know how other knitters keep track of their rows whilst knitting, but I used to have pen lines all over backs of old envelopes, as I tallied up the rows! This is messy, and also time consuming. I have been looking for a gadget that could keep track of my rows at a click of a button, and finally I have found it. The electronic counter has an adjustable ring base - clear plastic with notches that click in to fit your finger. I have found it so convenient, especially when knitting socks in the round, as I pass the stitch marker over to the next needle, I push the button. It will automatically turn off after a while, but remembers the tally count for the next time you pick up your knitting.
I found this one on www.trademe.co.nz.
