The intersection of high and low tech
One of the things I love about knitting is that it’s so low tech. All my equipment is tangible, made of wood, metal, fiber, or plastic (unless you count the internet, where I shop, search for patterns and network with other knitters).
Yesterday, I discovered StitchMinder iPhone row counter for knitters. Be still my heart! I first saw mention of it on Mason Dixon Knitting, then my friend, organizer Lauren Halagarda of The Organizing Connection sent me a link to an entry about it on Not Martha.
Keeping track of rows and pattern rows, especially when you’re knitting cables or lace or shaped garments, can be a challenge. Here’s my decidedly low-tech row counter which I purchased on eBay a few years ago. (I believe it’s vintage.)
And here’s StitchMinder on the iPhone.
I don’t have an iPhone, but I’ve been wanting one. Believe me, this has whetted my appetite even more.
