The Counter Ring

Hey everyone, it's Deja from crocheteverafter.com. This is the counter ring from thecounterring.com. And what this is is a row or round counter for knitters, crocheters, bead workers, anybody that needs to keep track of their project. You can see as I spin it around, this is the rainbow color, that the outside ring is all the same. Except for this one spot here, and that's where you're going to keep track of your rows or your rounds. This is very simple to do. So you'll see a little internal spring that's swirling around, looks like part of the design. What that allows us to do is to move our numbers. So we just need to simply take the one we need to change, push it toward the center of the ring, towards that spring, and turn the number. And because there are these little spikes that you can see, Along the edge of the ring and little valleys where the numbers are, they click in. And that keeps your ring from changing as you're doing whatever you may do. So whether you're knitting, crocheting, or getting up to get a snack, your row or round will not change. It locks in. The outer numbers are just as easy to change. You just pull it towards the center and you'll see it comes out from the spikes. And then you turn it and it clicks in and it's locked in and won't move anywhere. So as you're working your project, whether it's knit or crochet, I like to have it on my non-dominant pointer finger because I can see what row I'm on, I can see what I'm doing, it's still out of my way, it's not going to hinder my yarn or anything, I can easily get to the end of my row or my round without having to drop my project, I can just come over and And change. The number and then start working my next row. Same thing with crochet. So I can crochet easily with nothing in my way. Another great option is to try it on your thumb. So either spot, it's right where you can see it easily and turn it easily, but it's not in the way of working your stitches, whether it's crochet or knitting. So once I hit the end of my row, I'm on row 19, so I just pull in to turn for my 2, push Push in to turn for my zero, click those in, and I'm ready to go for my next row. So that is the counter ring.
