When I see “at the same time” I get out a piece of lined paper and then map out what has to be done on every row. It takes time but it’s well worth it in the end, esp on a project where there are decreases at either end on some rows plus you’re cabling in there and who knows what else. Plus, I’m more verbal than visual so I like seeing the instructions right in front of me.

I wasn’t sure where to submit this comment but WOW. The Comfort Afghan book looks fabulous. I can’t wait to get a copy. Again, WOW.

You always come up with such helpful suggestions. But I am also commenting here about your new afghans book. I already have so many patterns/books I almost was going to breeze by it. I am so glad I didn’t! Such original patterns, color choices, ideas. I am so excited to get this book and get busy making more afghans. By far my favorite is Marrakesh….absolutely gorgeous. So many of these are works of art! Great job ONCE AGAIN ladies!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am making my first top down sweater and came to the directions AT THE SAME TIME had to put it down for a minute. Received the email from Berroco and there was your article concerning my problem. Charting out the increases worked wonders for me. Thank you again.

I have used a peg board for years. It is easy to find one. Most stores that carry yarns have them. They are plastic and they come with several pets to keep track of rows decrease sand what not. I can`t get along with our mine.

To marri. Lauri, and any others interested in the Susan Bates “Peg-it” Knitting Counter: I agree this is a great tool; in fact I have four that I use all the time! Unfortunately I don’t think they are being made any more as I found my last ones on clearance but, I keep looking and hoping. I think you could very easily make a similar one with a piece of foam core and a little ingenuity. If you would like more info, just e-mail me.

I’ve had my Susan Bates peg counter for at least 25 years. It is a wonderful thing but I’m not sure they still make them.
