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.

Amazing photos, particularly the first one where it looks like the 2 dragonflies are one.
ReplyDeleteI'd never seen mating dragonfly's before - it's quite incredible

DeleteWow! just wow, did you have to set up with a tripod and just wait?
ReplyDeleteWe were out for a walk and I had to follow the dragonfly's around as they flew off every time we stood on a twig
DeleteAwesome!

Oh wow cool!! You took these pictures? That's just so cool! Talk about being there at the right moment. Was it difficult to catch them not moving?

I was definitely a challenge! They kept flying away a few feet every time we got too close.

ReplyDeleteYes, I had to zoom in a lot and then crop the image too.
DeleteOh wow! Those are amazing photos! Definitely right place, right time.

ReplyDeleteI'm still hoping for the perfect dragonfly shot one day.
DeleteDragonflies are so difficult to capture sometimes, but you did a nice job of it!
ReplyDeleteFound you on Pierced Wonderings. :)
They don't like to keep still to have their photo taken that's for sure.
DeleteWow! these are fab :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks :o)
Deleteoh my, are they mating?
ReplyDeleteI'm not expert on the mating habits of the dragonfly but I think that's what they are doing. They can fly at the same time - bizzare.
DeleteOh wow - that's amazing! Thanks for sharing this at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/03/its-official-im-sick-of-winter.html
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty amazing to see in real life too.
