My new row counter for #knitting short rows toes and heels! (yes, it is quite specific)

It's an old toy: a white plastic board with holes at regular spaces and coloured pegs that were used to draw some kind of computer-free pixel art.

Instead, I've added a strip of paper with the number of stitches on each row (and whether it's knits or purls), I use four pegs to mark the beginning and end of the current toe/heel, and I mark every row as I knit it by moving other pegs around, first to one side of the strip of paper and then to the other side.

I still think that something like this would be really nice in wood and brass, but this has the huge advantage of actually existing right now :D
