(5 proto-sweaters, 2 proto-shawls, 2 sweaters in process, and one of those under-bed storage bins full of smaller bits.) Because I design a lot of my knitting, it sometimes takes me a while to finish a project, since unanticipated things keep popping up. So I need a way to safely store my yarn, sometimes for years.

I came upon an idea that is helping me keep straight which row I'm on for my moss stitch pattern and thought it may be helpful to others.

Moss stitch is K1 P1 for 2 rows and then P1 K1 for the next two before it repeats (for an even stitch count), I knew knitting my swatch I was going to have a hard time remembering where I was, since it wasn't always knit on the knits and purl on the purls, but if I got the initial stitch on the row all right I should be OK.

I was knitting the "rock star" scarf and I kept picking up extra "stitches" in the eyelash -- which weren't stitches at all, but firm-holding multi-loops of eyelash fringe.

I solved it by using counters every 5 stitches -- makes me v. aware of how many stitches I should have and helps me distinguish the imposter stitches from the real ones.
