progress

OK, so when i do a pattern stitch

i learned to add stitch markers

to keep the count correct

a Light Pink bead is the first pattern repeat

or Beginning of the Row

the Dar$ker Pink is for the rest

then, i pin the first row of

the pattern stitch

knit "X" patterns to get the legnth i want

so, then i have all these pins in the side

i count my pins till i have the correct number

there HAD to be a better way

bought Numeric Beads

put them on the pins

they won't go over the bend

so, it's a pain to pin the row & add the bead

i remember a menber of the Mon & Tue groups

that uses lever back ear rings to make

stitch markers for crochet

so, i made little row counters from them

1 - 9 = ONLY the number bead

10 - 19 Pink bead & number bead

i won't be knitting more than 20 pattern repeats

LATER, i can

pin my gusset & toe decrease

so i don't loose track
