I have decided that 2012 will be my year for knitting sweaters (I've never knit a sweater) & I'll need a row counter. :-)

Ordered stitch markers from your ETSY shop for ME!
Very cute....will revisit!

Much prettier (and more practical)than my usual method of moving stray objects from one side of the table to the other!
Posted by: Julie | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 10:38
Adorable! :)

I just finished reading all your books - love them! Can't wait for more!
Also very intrigued by these bracelets. Hope I win!

OOOO VERY COOL!

Would love to win one! (Especially since all of my row counters are currently committed to other projects, which is a sad state of affairs. Hopefully I'll also contract a case of Finishitis here before Christams.)

Same as Cheryl at the top: I'm buying one of those if I don't win. Very cool.
Posted by: Amy | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 12:51
I love these bracelets! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Posted by: Megan | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 12:52
I spent a while at their Etsy shop -- beautiful pieces! Thanks for letting us know about them!
Posted by: Karen Frisa | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 13:25
Ooh, ooh, maybe if I don't win one Santa will bring me one. I'll have to put it on my wish list.
Posted by: Barbara | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 13:41
Knitting bling for the holidays, yes!!! This is so much prettier than the red and white counter I use on a piece of knicker elastic tied around my wrist.

Wow--cool idea! Thanks!
Posted by: Judy | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 15:32
I love Hide and Sheep. I have a ton of their stitch markers and the bracelet. You don't need to enter me in the contest. I just wanted to say love the video on how to use it. I never used mine, just like to look at it but next time I need to keep track, it's coming out.
Posted by: Suzanne | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 17:02
That is the coolest row counter I have seen. And I also love the kitty shots. :)
Posted by: Julie | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 17:05
Thanks so much for the video, and for the chance!
Posted by: Debby | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 17:11
How neat and what a great idea! If I don't win this, I am going to make it a Christmas gift to me.
Posted by: Lynn | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 18:01
I'd love one of these! They look so neat.
Posted by: Kristi | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 19:00
I love those! So pretty. I'm such a jewelry-hound, too.
Posted by: Emily | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 20:31
Those are awesome...especially since I tend to lose count of the row I'm on almost immediately:)I love the idea.
Posted by: Eileen Rivera | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 22:04
Love your book and love the bracelets!
Posted by: Janice | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 23:45
Huh. So simple, why have I been struggling with post-its and punching holes in my patterns (seriously) for so long?
Posted by: Danielle | Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 04:09
Pretty and useful! I love it.
Posted by: Brenda | Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 04:39
Rachael, nice to see the pretty smile " in person.". Love the bracelets-what a clever idea, cool and functional.
Posted by: Shelley | Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 05:02
Okay I never win any thing but yet still I enter because if you don't enter then you have no chance to win and we all want at least one chance to win. okay crossing fingers now hey crossing toes too. ;)
Posted by: Michelle | Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 07:10
Adorable and brilliant! I'd love one.
Posted by: Sarah E. White | Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 07:15
Add me to the list of knitters who want one! So glad I found your blog. Next, to request one of your books from the library.
Posted by: Cheryl | Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 08:28
Dang! Those are awesome and just what a forgetful girl like me needs!
Posted by: Cindi | Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 09:05
Fun! Maybe I could make one, but I'd sure like to win one. XXO
Posted by: Maggi | Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 09:13
Love them. Want one. Rachael -- you've had an amazing year. I hope for many more to come....
Posted by: Juliette | Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 09:53
I dont normally comment but geez - would I ever love to have one of those "brace-row-counter-lets". Hey, it could even double as a mini-mala (kinda- bead count not quite right) great for all the zen knitter types out there.
Thanks for the giveaway. Love your blog. Second that "more accordion videos" request.
Posted by: Candace (from Canada) | Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 11:13
Beautiful and useful, sounds like my kind of gadget. Thanks!
Posted by: Lindsay K. | Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 16:08
I Love these bracelets--so clever!
Posted by: Linda | Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 21:14
Brilliant! I love the design. SOOO much nicer than those little red and white stitch and row counters. I would love to have one. Please pick me!
Posted by: Laura A | Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 23:14
Super cute idea. I'm always loosing my row counter in the middle of a project. You'd never loose this one.
Love the hair colour by the way.
Posted by: Koru | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 04:20
me and my kids - pretty please! son is adhd and aspie, oh heck i'll order my own if i don't win.
Posted by: JennQKW | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 04:29
So pretty and smart! Would be much better than my imperfect system of postits and index cards. Bought your book My LIfe in Stitches as a gift to myself and loved it.
Posted by: deidre corbet | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 07:14
Wow, even if I don't win, that video of you is enough of a present! Yay! Also, those bracelets are awesome and I would be honored to have one. :)
Posted by: Jeanne | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 09:40

Posted by: Amy | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 10:54
Woo! Pretty. I compulsively count, so this would serve me well... and maybe set me free. A little bit.
; )
Posted by: Vicki | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 10:58

Posted by: Ann Bridson | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 11:37

Posted by: Emy | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 13:21
Hi Rachael, Thanks for doing this giveaway on your blog, I would love to win one of those!
Also, I've been meaning to write to you and let you know how much I've enjoyed the Cypress Hollow books. I've listened to all 3 from Audible and just had a great feeling in my heart after each one. I've become really attached to the characters and hope there will be more someday. Thank you for the wonderful books!
Posted by: Kelie | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 14:29
I put them on my xmas list!
Posted by: Jay | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 15:03
Those are amazing and I have often thought I wanted one! Also, your post on the acupuncture pillow was really interesting. I've recommended it to a friend.
Posted by: Wyldchai | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 18:38
These bracelets are fantastic! I would love to have one. I also love the second row counter you demonstrated. Goodness, products like these might just persuade me to actually keep track of my knitting rather than getting frustrated when one sleeve is longer than the other (or is it one sleeve is shorter than the other?!).
Posted by: Jenni | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 19:04
Came over from Twitter because you told me to. They look lovely!
Posted by: Mary Fran (cohmomto3) | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 19:09
These are so cooool!!
Posted by: Kate | Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 19:10
You look so cute in that video! And your kittehs too!

Very cool!
Posted by: KarenJ | Friday, December 16, 2011 at 04:49
Brilliant. I have never seen these bracelets and they are the perfect gift for my knitters! Who knew? Not me.
As always, thanks Rachael, and as a side note, your hair looks FAB. Gives me the courage to stick with the "grow out"!
Posted by: cgReno | Friday, December 16, 2011 at 07:05
What a great giveaway! Those bracelets have always fascinated me but I haven't tried one yet. :)
Posted by: Vivian | Friday, December 16, 2011 at 07:36

Posted by: Anne | Friday, December 16, 2011 at 07:53
Why didn't I think of that? Very cute
Posted by: Robin F. | Friday, December 16, 2011 at 10:08
OH, I would so love one of these! And I'm going to get that pillow of nails, too! Thanks for the giveaway!
Posted by: Sally Anderson | Friday, December 16, 2011 at 10:29
OMG I really want one of these. Just awesome idea.
Posted by: Beth DUggan | Friday, December 16, 2011 at 10:38
Those are amazing!
I am new to knitting and that is just the best idea (i have the hardeest time tracking my row counts.....love them!
Posted by: Victoria Nelson | Friday, December 16, 2011 at 14:37
Gorgeous! Would love to be one of the lucky three!!!!
Posted by: Sara G. | Friday, December 16, 2011 at 15:22
Digit reminds me of my kitty, I'll be held/displayed when I want to be, thank you very much!
Love your books, love your blog. Would love to win a row counter bracelet!
Happy Holidays! :)
