If I am knitting a project that seems slow going , like I am knitting but getting nowhere, Then I place a marker when I start and I can see that I am making progress even tho it doesn't look like i am . I move maker when I pick up my knitting to start again.If for example, i am watching a program that is on for one hour, I feel like I have accomplished more because I can actually see how much I have done.

Great idea, I felt like this when attempting to knit a baby blanket, so I frogged it.

You could also leave the markers in and add a new one when you start again. Then you can see how far you went in each session.

I have done this because it helps to keep me motivated!

I love progress keepers for just this reason :sm01: Just when I think I didn't accomplish much I am surprised at the progress I have made...this is a pic of my current favorite. I have to admit to owning many...probably too many but I really love the knitting bling :sm02:

[Cashmere-Cat]

I have always done that as well, it just seems to make things grow quicker.

What a wonderful idea!!! I will have to try it.

Great idea, I do the same, I need to know that I'm making progress.

 

[susanmjackson]

I do that with a few of my large projects. It really does help with the motivation.

 

[Lilyan]

Very clever idea, I will try it.

 

[SouthernGirl]

good idea

 

[albie]

i do the same thing when i have to cast on more than 50....half way thru i have a diff/color marker to let me know that i am 1/2 way thru....

 

[JoLink]

I like your idea. I'm going to try it!

 

[String Queen]

Ditto!

I have put removable markers at the end of each days work. It motivates me to at least do as much as the day before

 

[gramknits]

Yes, great idea. I have also done this in the past.
