Short, practical notes on keeping count while you knit.

• How to keep your place on a knitting chart

  Read a knitting chart row by row without losing your place: which way to read it, how to mark the row you are on, and how counting runs of colour helps.

• How to count rows in your knitting

  Count rows in stockinette, garter and ribbing, keep markers every ten rows, and keep track of repeats like "rows 1–8 six times" without losing count.
