For a limited time only, bring home the bacon with code KNITMORE and get fifteen percent off in-stock yarns and fibers at oinkpigments dot com. Shop soon, because these pigs will FLY!

 

The first time I saw a chain row counter, I thought "Hmm, that's nice, but I’ll  just mark my pattern". 

But I inevitably forgot and spent more time re-counting my knitting than actually knitting!

 

Friend, do yourself a favor and put a chain row counter on that project (you can thank me later).

You’ll always know exactly where you are and get to knit more - and stress less!

No clicking, tallying, or waking your phone up every row. 

Just knit!

• Gigi at Jasmin’s house knitting: striped socks for Andrew   Finished heel flap, turned heel. Working on gusset 

• Jasmin is working on Chin Matthews' Dipole Beanie  in Seismic Yarn’s butter sock in the “Escape” colorway. “Compassion Collection where 20% of gross sales will be donated to an organization that supports a marginalized community. As a Pride inspired colorway, it only makes sense that the donations go to The Trevor Project, an organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention to LGBTQIA+ youth.”
