Neatest little gadget yet. Two needles are tethered to a ring with color coordinated S-Lon, an initail bead, and small color coordinated beads. The two needles are used for counting over on your fabric. Just anchor one needle, and start counting with the second needle. When you reach a certain number, like 10, 15, or 20, just anchor the second needle. Remove the first needle, 'hop' over the second needle, and count some more! This are fantastic when gridding fabric, counting out from the center, or marking your place.
