Here is my high tech method of keeping track of knitting from charts.
Notice the teeny, tiny original that I can't for the life of me see:
I blow it up and color code the stitches.
Then I use a piece of posterboard for the guide.
Please notice the high tech bobby pins to keep it in place.
To count the rows, here is my solution:
I do have to remember that I am using a ballpoint pen, so I must be careful and close it each time or move it to a safe place.
You can see where I frogged (the crossed out part on the left sock.)
And after 14 rows, here is what we are looking like:
Now you know the secrets to a NOT high tech household.
Have a great weekend~

Hey, it if works, it works. Looks like you're making good progress with the sock.
Looking great! I think that's a good system. ;)
I like your solution. When I was working on my lace shawl I just used a piece of cardboard to pin the charts and line guide too. It was a little goofy but it worked.
The socks are looking nice.
Hey, bobby pins are the bomb. so many uses!! Lydia
Very ingenious!!
I have one completed pomota... and can't even face starting the second :(
Thanks for your lovely encouraging words on my blog, no you are never too old to learn.
What a great idea. Simple but genius. And the socks looks really good.
Great idea about blowing up the chart and color coding! when I finally attempt the pomos, i will definitely do that!
