People are doing rocket science and quantum mechanics, and yet no one has invented a knitting needle that displays the current number of stitches it's holding.

Een haaknaald versie zou mij wel wat lijken. Misschien lukt het me dan beter.( Andere oorzaak, maar ik heb moeite met tel-
-Oh kijk EEN VLINDER!!- )
Ondanks steekmarkeerders zit ik er vrijwel constant naast 🫣

@pointysticksncoffee I can remember my mother having knitting needles with a little cube attached which could be manually turned to display a number. This is from 50 odd years ago, so I may be completely misremembering.

@pointysticksncoffee dit moet met beeld herkenning goed te doen zijn, streepjescodes kunnen immers ook

@pointysticksncoffee I honestly think this is just a question of how much money someone is prepared to invest, and under what conditions you need the number. You might be able to get something working for a few 100€ and a some fiddling.

These were definitely a thing in England@MikeFromLFE @Ivor Those are row counters, not stitch counters. And experience shows that they're spectacularly prone to user error

@redshiftdrift Well darnit! So close!

Ah! I have never been able to knit (despite trying several times) and I was relying on 60+ years of memory.
I stand corrected and thank you for putting me right. -

I stand corrected and thank you for putting me right.@MikeFromLFE No problem. It's a logical thought to have I'd say. The idea is that every time you encounter the counter (heh) in your work, you change it to the next number. It saves you from counting rows over and over but I know at least I am able to zone out and completely ignore the device when switching rows

@pointysticksncoffee I'd buy that needle!
