Whats your favorite row counter tool/app?

Hi everyone!

I was wondering what your favorite way of row counting is? Do you use a phone app or a row clicker?

Im a new knitter and just started using the phone app "my row counter" but Im sure there are better options out there! Id love to hear what you use!

I always come back to making hash marks on paper

Knitcompanion

You can have the PDF pattern on your screen, mark your progress, and it has 4 counters on the right that you can use while knitting.
I stopped printing everything and just now use that, the free version is good enough for me.
I used to keep track by writing in pencil on my printed patterns or a notebook.
The paid version I am really considering ;)

I dont use row counters or anything like that because you forget it far too often and too quickly.
I also usually work on several projects at the same time.

I usually mark every 10 rows/rounds with a lockable stitch marker.
This works best for purl stitches and, of course, for less complex knitting patterns.

If its very complex, I prefer to use knitCompanion in the subscription version and wouldnt want to be without it.
Simply tap or announce and the row marker jumps up by 1.
Highly recommended.

I have the little rotary row counter my mother had (its older than I am). It stows on the needle when Im finished my session so I always know how many rows Ive done.

Thats a great idea! I never even thought of that! Ill have to try this because the app i used was a bit finicky and I kept losing track of my rows

I never thought of using stitch markers to mark rows! Thank you so much for the tip. Im definitely going to be trying that. And I always hear good things about knitcompanion! From what Ive been reading it is a better app than Myrowcounter

That sounds so lovely! I wish I had my grandmothers tools since she was the most incredible knitter

Hi! I just make a little tick on a half used notebook I carry around anyways to write down notes on the patterns. Im considering buying a row counter pin, but its more on the cute side than effective :)
