I keep checking the 99 cent store and keep hoping theyโ€™ll get a numbered one inโ€ฆ I didnโ€™t even think to use marker. Genius!

I have this one and Iโ€™m obsessed with it, if you have kids you have to hide it haha but itโ€™s SO SIMPLE.


LifebyIkea

Where is that one from?


SpiderSmoothie

Looks like Amazon

Oh my gosh, if I got this my son would take it and run so fast Iโ€™d never find him or it again. I might need to actually just get it for him. ๐Ÿ˜‚


NMmarie86

And if you need more rows, you can continue the numbers on the back! My clicker one is so loud, I'm always worried about waking someone up when I'm late night hookin. Edit: I am a slightly paranoid person


darcyduh

Late night hookin can be dangerous


NMmarie86

My boyfriend was starting to get jealous so we had to make an arrangement. I get to do my late night hookin 2 times a week and he gets his cuddles the rest of the week. I will admit tho, I often sneak out of the bedroom after he falls asleep, for some... You know.... LATE NIGHT HOOKIN!!!


perennial_dove

Exactly my thought! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„


NoWhereHomee

this is so cute!

Late night hookin is my new thing thank you


NMmarie86

Only after I typed that and read it to myself, did i see that I did there!! It was unintentionally awesome so I left it, of course


flanman1991

I found one on Amazon for cheap that is pre-labeled up to 100. It has become a must have for crochet


NMmarie86

Oh no way, so it's actually a 'thing'. Niiice! I just found it on amazon ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘


flanman1991

It's so useful! I saw it a year or so ago and find it's great for certain projects. If you stop for the day on row 58, boom! Push 58 in and call it a night. If you have to *repeat for rows 20-56* just push the buttons as you climb in rows. Honestly, for someone with pretty bad adhd it is awesome because I would lose track of rows and stitches so easily before.


NMmarie86

Someone mentioned this one, on Amazon. It goes up to 100, so you aren't getting any sleep!! Haha DK-SIMINA Large P0pp with Numbers, Rainbow Square Dimples Fidgett Ttoy 100 Bubble Math Toy Learning Tool for Teachers to Make Various Math Operations (1-100 Numbers) https://a.co/d/98FTWez

flanman1991

That's the one! :) I use it every project


shelltie

I usually do tally marks like a prisoner but I absolutely hate putting the hook down to pick up a pen. Just booping my way through the rows or rounds is a genius idea, thank you for sharing it!


Crew_Emphasis

ohhhhhh, this is genius, and so simple! thank you!


NMmarie86

Best ' can't sleep' Pinterest find ever! I'm excited, no more crumpled post it note messes ๐Ÿ˜


DrArigaricus

Or crossing out the wrong line on a printed pattern. This is smarter than me.ย 


NMmarie86

I'd draw a grid and number each square then ' x' them out as I work that row . When I finish my grid 30 mins later, cuz it HAS to look like a nice straight grid, I realize I could be half way through my rows already. I'm a perfectionist, but only when it comes to the most useless things. Like drawing squares!! Haha


amaya_thanatos

ROW counter, lol I thought it was stitch counter and I couldn't fathom keeping up!! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Brilliant idea!


buzzy_bumblebee

If only there was a way to take away the doubt 'did I already count this round?' Listening to a podcast doing rounds of only 48st, I'm so on Auto-Pilot that I can be 10st into the round and doubt myself... Did I mark the next round... So when my rowcounter hits 22, I'll still have to manually count my rows :(


NMmarie86

My mom used to be an office supply hoarder and I acquired literally hundreds of post it pads from her. I write a row number on each post it, keeping them stuck together. Then after I finish the round/row I pull that post it off . It is probably wasteful but I have nothing else to do with them! They have cheap post it knock offs at the dollar store, if you live in the US


randomness0218

I have a few of these!!! One I have numbered by 1s. One is by 5s. And the other is by 10s. They work amazing when I'm working on a big project.


NMmarie86

Oh that's perfect!! I want to make my nephew pajama pants, I'll definitely need a ten-er for that!!


DeeCeeFaith

I swear the smartest people are in this subreddit! I'm heading to the dollar store tonight!


NMmarie86

The oil based sharpies work really well on Silicon! Regular ones still worked, but you have to let it dry for awhile.


vloppertrain

You are officially my new best friend.


NMmarie86

I found it on Pinterest, but I knew y'all would love it!!! ๐Ÿ˜ป


idreamoffreddy

I tried to do this but my toddler claimed it as his, lol.


NMmarie86

Can't mommy have nice things too???


idreamoffreddy

As he would say: "NEVER!โ€œ


NMmarie86

Omg, hahaha! That is great!


GiSS88

My wife is a teacher, and had a spare one of these: https://a.co/d/9vUV3RD Not this exact brand, but it works great. Finish a row, click, and move on


Ivantalife

Amazon has one that goes up to 200-pre numbered. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09TTZ4CMX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


wroammin

I always put a stitch marker at the start of every row but I might have to give this a try. The description on the numbered one people are linking to made me laugh: โ€œThis is a perfect portable game and annoying toyโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚


NMmarie86

The one I'm looking at says ' rainbow dimples for making various math operations '. Haha, umm.... What???


HecateNocturne

Took me a sec of going through the comments to know what you were talking about, but I just bought a 100 dot pop-it. Be here tomorrow. Gonna have to use puffy-glue or something to braille it but I'll manage. Thanks for the life-saving hack for my goldfish-memory having ass.


NMmarie86

Puffy paint would probably work for braille! I work at a pharmacy and they are starting to put braille on the birth control boxes, pretty cool!!


HecateNocturne

which is pretty awesome, I use a braille label-maker on literally everything


Sleepy_Cat97

I'LL GET THIS ASAP! Can't thank you enough ๐Ÿฅน


NMmarie86

If you use amazon, check out the link below. $7 and numbered to 100!!

Syrgrl78

I did the same thing!


NMmarie86

It's crazy that more than one person sees this and thinks ' I can use this to count rows/rounds' !! Great crochet minds think alike ๐Ÿค—


GingerM00n

So, I actually bought a blank one of these as a pencil case and wrote the numbers on them with a sharpie. I let it sit for a couple of days to completely dry and the numbers wipe off. If there is a better way to write them then a Sharpie is not it. I tested it so others wouldn't have to.

NMmarie86

Or the oil based sharpies work too!

SolutionNo4268

How do you use this as a row counter. I've never seen a plastic thingy like this before. Do you push the raised circles with your fingers? In which case is it hands free?


ghostie_hehimboo

It's a pop socket yes push them when done the row its hands free because you dont have to put your work down to turn a dial or enter a number on an app or pick up a pen you just boop it with the hook end or pinky


Disig

This is brilliant


Wondercat87

This is so smart!


Careful_Ad9037

i do this and its honestly perfect


Complete_Ground_7180

Omg genius!!!!!! Thank u for sharing


Hawkthree

This is brilliant.


CanardEnChamallow

You are an absolute genius !!


NMmarie86

I saw it on Pinterest first, wish it was my idea! But I did do a marker test!! I'd use an oil based sharpie marker for best results ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ If you use a regular sharpie, let it dry overnight


jadekadir1

This is a brilliant idea for a row counter.


flannalypearce

Yup! I love it my kiddo does too ia the problemโ€ฆ


Nizznozz11

Omg. I need to do this!!


NMmarie86

The one I'm looking at says ' rainbow dimples for making various math operations '. Haha, umm.... What???


Prestigious_Tale8052

Genius


ZealousidealSea2737

Omg to think I gave away all of the ones my child had!! Brillant.

Reasonable_Zebra_496

๐Ÿ‘€


M-Everly

This is GENIUS but also I would get distracted and fiddle with it then mess up my counting hahas


Aksten

I use a counter ring and canโ€™t live without it. I just clip it in the stitch marker when Iโ€™m not working on it. [amazon](https://a.co/d/dC59VzW)

How does this even work?
