I talk a mile here, don't you think?
But that is my way. Just try to bear with me, OK? Now about
those marks....I have the pins for marking section of stitches but the stitch marks..I know you know what I mean...I do not have. Should I just have a piece of yarn as a markers? Best: Pirjo |

Oh Anna-Maria..Should have known you and all others are
there for me. You always have been. And I am grateful for that. Must think of that yarnpiece thing...it really makes me a bit sad and frustrated when every time I must count and recount.

Best: Pirjo Pirjo donīt worry and ask as much as you want. So sorry that I canīt help you with knitting since I should need a lot of help myself (I accomplished to finish two or three swaters in my life, thanks my someone elseīs costant help). Anyway, about the markers: I am quite sure that you can use a piece of yarn as a marker (just choose a contrasting colour). Little safety pins do their job as well. I use both these methods when I need markers while crocheting. Good luck! Anna Maria |

Pirjo,
Talk about counting, I made an aran sweater and with the design you had to count every row so I know how frustrating it can get. Yes, like Anna Maria said use a contrasting color yarn to make a marker. Hugs, Aunt Nora |

Ah Auntie dear...Should have known someone has experience
about that counting and re-counting. I think the yarn trick is the only thing I can do now. Best: Pirjo, your niece NoraBalcer kirjoitti ...

Maybe you already do it, but counting stitches by two or three makes things a bit easier. Try 2,4,6... or 3,6,9, as you like. Believe me, counting the first row of filet crochet is no fun (the fun begins on the second-third row :-). Hugs, Anna Maria |

Should I just have a piece of yarn as a markers? When I was 13 and made my first sweater with cirulars as round, I used pieces of yarn to mark sides. It's good, I haven't ever got familiar with the "real" markers and I learned out of the marking thing But contrast color yarn is good and cheap way to keep track on rows or stitches.

I use stitch markers to mark the increase points in my favorite top-down sweater pattern, but I've found I can't use yarn, so I use O-rings. I tend to knit without looking, and if the marker feels like a stitch, sooner or later it will get knit.
