Knitting - the airplane edition

Scene - on the way to Vegas via Cinci. Sitting on the airplane, trying to finish pink flat feet socks. In order to do so, I need my row counter, my pattern, yarn and needles. This is not an easy feat without the tray down, and that's OK - I was willing to give it a go anyhow. During my delicate balancing act, I dropped something. It was my row counter. I couldn't find it right away and got a little nervous. The nice people around me tried to help me out. They couldn't find it either. Weird. How in the world are my socks going to be the same length without the row counter? Smarter knitters than I could make it work, but experience has proven that I am not that kind of knitter. Thankfully, right before we got off the plane the flight attendant found it.

I know now that I have to wear my counter around my neck. Suggestions?

Didn't you buy the green froggy one that CAN be worn around your neck? I know it's not super stylish, but neither is knitting on a plane :). (Although, kudos for making it work!!!)

I don't think they're in production yet, but maybe you'll need one of these for your next knitting accessory. ;-)
