I only got into knitting proper as a young adult. But, after years of trial and error, I believe that I’ve honed in on the 10 things that every knitter out there should have in their toolkit. No matter their experience level.

1: A row counter

How many times have you put down your project and picked up again later on, only to forget which row of your pattern that you’re on?

If you’re more technically-inclined, then a good counter app is going to be one of your most-used items in your toolkit. This is going to be one of those ocassions where I strongly recommend going for a paid version of an app rather than the free one.

I use Counter Tally Count. It’s simple and allows for multiple counters at the same time.
