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.

ReplyDeletehahah - thank you! It's always good to know you're not alone.
DeleteWith five children, I have adopted regular purges to try to keep clutter to a minimum. These purges have deleted pet rocks, school projects, and "whatever that is" from our household. I try to keep the purges quiet because if the kids don't know to miss something, then they don't know to be upset. And most of these "must keep" items haven't be played with for months. Thanks for this humorous, yet honest post. :)
