Stuck at the Intersection of Math Geek and Knitting Geek

[gnomi]

As I was working on my current travel-project-sock this evening on my commute home, I figured out what I want in my knitting tool kit: a binary row counter.

Actually, I lie. I want a row counter for which you can tell it in which base you want it to count. Working on an 8-row repeat? No problem. Twenty-three rows? Again, no problem.

If such a thing existed, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Traditionally, they look something like this (http://knitting.va.com.au/wordpress/content/row_counter.jpg). Something like an itty-bitty abacus might do the trick, but I don't know.

Would a bracelet-type thing work? I would have to do the math for it... but... I wonder if a rosary-bracelet sort of thing could do the trick. Or a little grid you could wear on a watch band.

I like to think about things I will never truly grasp. It keeps me humble.
