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.

we credit cats with having intelligence over dogs but when I look at all the places my cat prefers to sleep other than her bed, I do wonder
ReplyDeleteMe too! Thanks for the laugh to end my day =D
DeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteYour fluff monster looks adorable! #AnimalsTales
ReplyDeleteEven for an old girl she is still adorable.
DeleteWhat is it with cats and washing baskets - or in fact any box or basket as far as Henry is concerned ... oh and clean washing - you cant beat a pile of clean washing to sit on?! Three of our cats are outdoor cats and we can tell to quite a degree how cold the weather will be over winter by how fat they get. This year average (averagely cold winter) last year,not at all (mild winter) - the year before that totally round cats and a bitterly cold winter.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for linking Fluffy in with #AnimalTales and I hope your winter isn't too cold. Hang on, you're in Perth aren't you? I doubt it'll be as cold as us ;)
I'm so glad our winters don't get that cold we're lucky if we get enough frost to ensure the apricot tree flowers. The shedding must be crazy come spring with the deep undercoat your cats would grow. I'll see you this afternoon over at Animal Tales.
