Or would stopping to move it up a line on the chart every time be too much hands-off-the knitting time
This. I've got two kinds of row counter and I don't like either one because it breaks the rhythm to keep stopping to click it. It's why I like chain row counters because slipping to the next link is like slipping markers, much more part of the knitting.
Speaking of distraction from talks, I am starting to eye the iPad as a read-while-you-knit device. I can knit and read, but then there's the whole page turning issue, whereas you can just give the pad a quick poke to make the text flip.
