counting down

I realised when you crochet or knit, many a time, you miscount the number of rows you've completed. It gets worse when your yarn color is dark. Of cause you can use a stitchmarker but that baby doesnt tell the number, unless you keep clipping every tenth row or so.

So, while I was doing my rounds at Daiso the other day, I saw this cute little counter, size no bigger than a diecast Thomas and Friends engine and its quite pretty too, compared to those padlock lookalike iron counters. At $2 a piece, I really need no justification to get one. Whats next is, I shall string it with a necklace clip hook so that I can attach it to my wips. Brillant???
