TSS Logo - tagline 2022c
The first time I saw a chain row counter, I thought "Hmm, that\'s nice, but I\\u2019ll \\xa0just mark my pattern".\\xa0
But I inevitably forgot and spent more time re-counting my knitting than actually knitting!
\\xa0
Friend, do yourself a favor and put a chain row counter on that project (you can thank me later).
You\\u2019ll always know exactly where you are and get to knit more - and stress less!
No clicking, tallying, or waking your phone up every row.\\xa0
Just knit!
