| How to Count Knitting Rows Posted: 12 Dec 2017 08:00 AM PST Counting your rows in knitting can be daunting and confusing, especially if you have a lot of rows to count or you find it difficult to identify your stitches. However, it is often necessary to count rows to ensure that you complete a project correctly. By learning some simple strategies for identifying your stitches and using tools meant to make row counting easier, you will find that counting rows is much easier. EditIdentifying the Stitches in Rows - Ignore the stitches in your cast on row and on your needles. The cast on row at the bottom of your knitting and the stitches on your knitting needle do not count. Ignore these stitches when you are counting your rows. Begin counting on the row above the cast on row and finish counting on the row before you get to your knitting needle.[1]
- Look for the V's in your work. To identify a knit stitch, look for V shapes. Each V is a stitch in a row, so you can easily count rows by counting the V's from the bottom to the top of your knitting.[2]
- For example, if you count 5 V's going from the bottom to the top of your knitting, then your knit piece has 5 rows in it.
- Count the upside down U shapes. If you are working in garter stitch or if you want to count the purl stitches instead of the knit stitches, then you can also count the upside down U shapes, or "frowns," in your knitting. Each of these shapes represents a stitch in a row, so you can count these going from the bottom to the top of your knitting to find out how many rows you have knitted so far.[3]
- For example, if you count 10 U shapes or frowns going from the bottom to the top of your knit piece, then you have 10 rows.
- Look for the hole in between your cables. Counting the stitches from the top to the bottom of a cable stitch can be confusing because of the odd angles of the stitches. The easiest way to count the stitches in cables is to locate the hole in between your cables and then count the ladders above the hole. Insert your finger through the hole where your cables cross. Then, count the ladders above the hole using your fingers to spread the cables apart as needed. Your total number of stitches for each cable will be equal to the number of ladders minus 1.[4]
- For example, if you count 7 ladders above the hole, then you have 6 stitches.
- Use the tip of a knitting needle or yarn needle to help you count. If you find it hard to identify the stitches in your knitting just by looking at them, or if you find it hard to keep track of them, then you might find it helpful to use the tip of a knitting needle or yarn needle as a guide. Point to each stitch with the tip of the needle going from the bottom to the top of your knit piece. Count each stitch as you point to it.[5]
EditUsing Tools to Count Rows - Get a stitch counter. Stitch counters are helpful tools for counting your stitches as you work. You can place a stitch counter on the end of one of your needles, place it next to you while you work, or even wear it like a necklace. After you complete each row, click the button on your stitch marker or turn the counter.[6]
- Try to find a stitch marker that you can easily use with one hand. Otherwise, you will have to put down your knitting each time you finish a row and that will slow you down.
- Some stitch markers also have helpful features, such as locking numbers, to prevent the stitch marker from increasing the count if you accidentally press the button after you finish knitting for the day.
- Download a knitting app. There are lots of free knitting apps that you can download to help make it easy to count your stitches. You can simply tap the screen on your smartphone or tablet each time you complete a row. Look for a stitch counter app or a knitting app that has a stitch counter feature.[7]
- Some good knitting row counter apps include the BeeCount Knitting Counter, Knitting and Crochet Buddy, and the Knitting Row Counter.
- Keep a tally with pen and paper. If you don't want to use a counter or an app, then you can always go low-tech and keep a tally of your rows with a piece of paper and a pen or pencil. Make a mark on the paper after you complete each row to keep track of your knitting rows.[8]
- For example, if you have 15 marks on a sheet of paper, then you would know that you have knit 15 rows.
- Place stitch markers every 10 rows or so. A good option for working on larger projects is to place a stitch marker after every tenth row. This will allow you to count your rows in 10's rather than stopping after every row to click a counter, tap an app, or make a tally mark. You can simply count your rows in groups of 10 and place markers at the end of every tenth row.[9]
- For example, if you have 7 markers on the edge of your knitting, then you have 70 rows plus however many rows you have worked beyond the last marker

| How to Make Gingerbread Houses Using Graham Crackers Posted: 12 Dec 2017 12:00 AM PST Gingerbread houses are a Christmas tradition the whole family can make together. Instead of spending hours making gingerbread, you can make gingerbread houses using graham crackers to save yourself both effort and time during a busy season. Display your houses on your table or in a decorative corner for Christmas Day. EditIngredients - 2 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 box confectioner's sugar
- 1 large box of graham crackers
- Hard Christmas candies for decoration
EditPreparing the House - Separate your Christmas candies into bowls. This step saves the hassle of opening bags of candy with sticky fingers later.
- Place an aluminum pie tin upside down in front of you.
- Combine the egg whites and lemon juice in a large bowl to make royal icing. Add powdered sugar 2 tablespoons at a time and blend the mixture with a mixer until the icing has the consistency of stiff peanut butter. The icing will secure the graham cracker walls of the house and stick the candy decorations to the surface.
- Place large spoonfuls of the royal icing into quart-size zipped style freezer bags. Avoid regular thickness sandwich bags because the plastic is too thin and will not hold up to the punishment of being used as a pastry tube. Approximately 1 cup of icing each bag is enough. Make sure that each gingerbread artist has his or her own bag of icing.
- Seal the bags.
- Use scissors to snip 1/4" (6 mm) off one corner of the icing filled bag. You now have an "icing tube". As you decorate, you'll squeeze the icing toward the snipped corner and use it to dispense a bead of icing on your gingerbread house.
EditAssembling the House - Count out six whole, uncracked, unseparated, unbroken crackers. Set four of them aside to form the roof and the two long sides of your house.
- Cut the two remaining cracker sheets to form end gable pieces. Use a gentle "sawing" motion with a serrated knife. Use the short end of a cracker to measure the angled line from the center of the long side to the centerline of the cracker.
- Repeat for the second gable end.
- Squeeze icing along the edges of a gable end and 1 whole graham cracker.
- Place the long edge of the wall cracker vertical to the base edge of the gable end cracker. Stick the side edge of the gable end cracker to the bead of icing on the flat side of the wall cracker. The walls should hold each other up.
- Add the other gable end and wall in the same manner. Use a bead of icing along the bottom to stick the pieces to the pie tin. Also, use a bead of icing where the two walls will join at the corners.
- Add the roof crackers in the same manner as the wall crackers, but pipe the icing on the flat of the roof, not on the edges. Then, stick the flat of the roof to the top edges of the gable ends and walls. Allow the icing to set for 15 to 20 minutes before handling the house again. If you place candies on it too quickly, you risk collapsing the house.
EditDecorating the House - Line the roof with icing where you want to add shingles.
- Add the shingles using your chosen candies.
- You can also use cereal for the shingles.
- Use your imagination and decorate the entire house whatever way you like. Look at these samples for inspiration:
- A roof ridge.
- A candy cane door.
- Cobblestones.
- A male teenager's house.
- An adult's house.
- Another adult's version.
- A log cabin.
- An additional small house.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar over the house and yard for a snowy effect.
- If you are making gingerbread houses with small children, try spreading royal icing on the sides of an empty cream carton. Stick graham crackers to the icing; doing this will ensure the sides of your gingerbread houses do not collapse.
- Spray clear lacquer on your gingerbread houses to extend their lives. Of course, doing this will make the houses inedible. Store the houses in a cool, dry place, and cover them nightly with a clean trash bag.
- Skip gummy candy when you decorate your gingerbread house. The surface oils make the candy stick poorly to the royal icing.
- A way to prevent graham crackers from crumbling when you cut them is to first "paint" a cutting line on with water and a small paint brush. This softens the crackers just enough to cut them without them falling apart. Don't worry.—It dries quickly.
- Instead of making a triangle roof, you can just place a full graham cracker on top of the four un-cut squares.
- Don't use too much frosting.
- Check the condition of your gingerbread house throughout the season. Make sure the graham crackers are not softened by humidity, and make sure the house is not attracting ants.
- Protect your work surface with newspapers or an old vinyl tablecloth.
- Keep gingerbread houses out of reach of your pets or you will find them "sampling" your house. This can be especially heart-rending to a little person who has his or her creation half eaten by the family dog!
EditThings You'll Need - Large bowl
- Mixer
- Disposable aluminum pie tin
- Scissors
- Zipper style freezer bags
- Serrated knife
