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.

This is such a lovely beaded clutch, and I'm sure you can repair it. I'm thinking from the 50s?
ReplyDeleteIt's rather pretty isn't it? I'll reveal the date next week.
DeleteHi Stella, I a no expert, but to me that purse looks a lot older than thirty years old. I would take a guess at the 1920's. I'll be interested to know!
ReplyDeleteIt would look lovely with those 1920's beaded beauties wouldn't it? It's not 1920's though.
DeleteThat is a gorgeous purse! I'd say 1920s or so as well. That kind of thing just reminds me of that era.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember my grandmothers having anything like those purses - they were much more functional women.
Well, I guess this sort of purse would be something you would keep stored away nicely and only pull out on special occassions.
DeleteThis looks incredible! Pinned and tweeted. We appreciate you taking the time to party with us. I hope to see you tonight at 7 pm.. Happy Monday! Lou Lou Girls
