    I love my stitch markers.

      Some might call putting stitch markers every ten stitches overkill, but they really do get beginners through so much.

        I usually use differently coloured markers to mark the beginning of knit and purl blocks.

          That’s a good idea.

      Did we start with 5 sponges, or 4?

      I missed the community this was posted in and just saw a post in my feed about counting stitches. My mind immediately went to surgery.

    You just take the average and move on.

    I count in groups of (2/3/4) stitches and push them down the needle once they’re counted so I can try to keep track. And this still happens to me!
