Clover Knitting Stitch Counter Mini Kacha-Kacha

Muy práctico, REcomendado ampliamente.

Vraiment pratique ! Il n'y a plus qu'un cordon à rajouter. Fonctionne sans pile et c'est ce que je souhaitais.

Un prodotto utile, basta solo ricordarsi di fare clic ad ogni giro... Semplice da usare e non così fragile. Mi piace.

Note: This post is on the product page for a row counter, the mini kacha-kacha. Someone commented that I should not leave this review on the page of a yarn cutter, and although I triple-checked that the page is for the counter, not a cutter, there are reviews for multiple Clover products, including various pom-pom makers, a cutter, and a counter. In front of each review, it says "This review is from:" followed by a product link. (Note that you only see this information if you click on "See all customer reviews.") Apparently, all product reviews for Clover products are just pooled now. Clover is a good brand, but that does not mean that all products are identical. I used to live in Japan a long time ago, and it was a paradise when it came to craft supplies, where Clover was the #1 name. They had many wonderful items that are have been making their way across the sea in recent years, probably due to the exposure the web brought. This little counter is priceless, and I make a habit of locking it after every row change, which is easy and effortless. I got tired of pulling my row counter out of my bag only to find that I had suddenly increased my row count wildly, even when the counter was carefully protected. If you don't use the safety lock and drop it, you can hardly blame the counter, since the only way to prevent it from increasing the row count if you drop it on its head would be to sell them permanently locked, which would make it a rather useless item. The only alternative in my opinion is to write down your rows manually, and it is much more work to pick up a pencil and pad than to unlock, click, and relock, which can be done with one hand in only a few seconds. (I alm likely to spend much longer than that looking for my pencil and pad in the bottom of my bag.) I am planning to turn it into a necklace when I have time to make a braid for it, because I like the fact that it hangs upside down, the way old-fashioned nurses' necklace watches used to be (which tells you how old I am). That means that if you wear it around your neck, you just have to tilt it up, not twist it around, to double-check your row count. If you have ever gritted your teeth and resorted to figuring out what row you are on yet again, you will love this. (Not all types of projects make this easy, especially certain types of crochet patterns, and that goes double for fancy-dyed yarns.) I have gotten to the point I don't write reviews as often, since they are a lot of work to do properly and too many people pollute the process because they review the seller, not the product, but I am crazy about this little gadget, and I think it deserves the kudos.

This knitting counter was a bit more expensive than I was wanting to pay, but is worth every cent. It is simple, easy to use, and kind of reminds me of a cute smiling frog. I wear it on a piece of yarn around my neck when I need to count stitches or rows. I like that it is lockable. I would definitely purchase again, but it seems durable enough that I expect I’ll have this “friendly frog” for life. It also arrived very quickly from Scotland to Aus.
