Knitters Pride Row Counter Rings
Knitters Pride presents…‘Useful Jewelry’:
Not only are these ingenious row counter rings pretty and comfortable to wear, they are practical too! Ideally worn on the index finger or thumb, this row counter will never go missing, or fall between the couch cushions – you'll never be without your row counter when you need it.
These Knitter's Pride Row Counter Rings feature two numbered dials that move independently of each other to track your rows and will count up to 99. The dials ‘click’ into place each time they are rotated, thus staying in place so that you never lose track of your rows again!
Each ring is made from high-quality Stainless Steel and powder coated using a special technology to create the hypoallergenic black finish.
How to Use:
- Ideally to be worn on index finger or thumb
- Push the required number band towards the center of the ring for easy rotation

- Size 7 (17.3 mm - Inner ID)

We will have each of our featured Interchangeable Needle Kit (as well as some other styles) available for you to personally ‘test drive’ anytime on Saturday, December 15th.
Try for yourself and see the difference a needle can make; the material it is made from, the length of the needle tip, the sharpness or bluntness of the tip, and the shape of the needle all can make a big difference in how much you enjoy working with them & how much they can assist you with ease of knitting. Each has their own unique advantages. We will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

What is an Ablet Knitting Abacus?
An Ablet is a very pretty bracelet but secretly a functional row counter. We as Knitters & Crocheters can use it to count rows, pattern repeats, increases & decreases. If you are working from multiple charts, use the 3-tier Ablet to keep track of rows in each chart. But uses for the Ablet reach far beyond our ‘knitting world’ – YES, there is life beyond knitting, who knew?!!?
Use the Ablet to count ANYTHING you can think of:
- Golfers can use it to count their strokes
- Fitness & Training – laps & reps
- Coaches – goals scored, number of plays
- Inventory Taking
- Game Night
- And if you can’t sleep, you can even use it to count sheep!
(Colour options vary from those shown in picture)
- Each bracelet is HANDMADE & comes packaged in a pretty little pillow box – perfect for gift giving
- Directions are inside the package, and include a handy link to a YouTube video, in case you or your knitter friends hate reading (gasp!). And here is another short video from Founder & Owner Sharon Coleman.
- Choice of 2-row Ablet (counts 1 – 99) or 3-row Ablet (counts 1 – 999)
- The Ablet Knitting Abacus is fully adjustable and fits 6" to a 9" wrist.
- Materials are silver or gold plated brass findings and chain, ribbon, and resin, and wood beads depending on the style (trust me, we've tried everything, these materials work the best... form follows function)
- The bracelet has a two closure system for perfect fit and easy on/off!Use the lobster claw clasp & chain to set the Ablet to your preferred wrist size.Then, use the magnetic closure for quick and easy on & off
- closes with a strong magnet; once you get the lobster claw hook set to you never have to move it again.
- The Ablet is a ‘stay put’ counter. The beads don't slide unless YOU slide them; it's like magic, seriously!
- They are fully guaranteed
- So uniquely awesome that it has a patent.
- Hand Made in the USA
How does the Ablet work?
(Click on the above Title link for instructions.)
Use the 2-row Ablet to count from 1 – 99
Use the 3-row Ablet to count from 1 – 999!
