When I first took up crochet I didn't have any stitch markers, I didn't even know stitch markers existed. It wasn't long before I knew about them and I learnt the value of using stitch markers, aka stitch savers. That first frustrating experience of when a project accidentally unravels because there's nothing holding onto the stitch to stop it coming undone or your crochet circle grows in ways it isn't supposed to and the worth of this tiny tool became obvious very quickly. But there are so many styles of stitch marker to choose from, locking, circle, coil-less, plastic, safety pins, thread, 3D printed... does it really make a difference which one you use? Is it just how pretty they are? I walk you through a dozen different stitch markers from items you have lying around your home to the fancy artisan styles. I share with you what features to look for and those that don't really hold up to the task.

thanks for sharing the links to the crochet patterns for snoods! I have purchased some before but it would be great to make my own!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome. I'd love to see them if you do make a snood or two.
DeleteThank you for sharing this pattern!! I shared too on my FB page! Very nice and I am certain brings many memories of times/fashion past to current! Sandy
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Sandy. The vintage gals love their snoods making past fashion contemporary (and it really makes doing your hair super easy)
DeleteWell, I've personally always wondered what a 'snood' was! They mention it in the movie White Christmas, which I watch faithfully every year. Every year I think, I'm going to look that up b/c i think I'm supposed to know what that is! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I could help solve a mystery :0)
