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.

DeleteIt's like they need an air traffic controller! I'm picturing them all yelling at each other, "George I told you to wait until I was clear!" "Fred get out of the way!" "You two better move it, I'm coming in hot!" (I haven't had my coffee yet this morning, so I might be a bit loopy ;)
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing with us again this week!
*chuckle* I'm always loopy before I've had coffee! I hope to be on time this week, but I'm not making any promises.

ReplyDeleteI don't know how it all didn't end in disaster!
