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.

You can complete with other colors and it will look awesome. I can't wait to see what will it look like.

I do hope it turns out. I don't want to buy more yarn to finish this project so I shall just have to see how it goes with what I already have.
DeleteWould love to see your finished project soon...
ReplyDeleteI'm making progress but I'm not so sure about how 'soon' it will be :0)
DeleteWow! That IS a long time! I really like tunisian crochet, and I love the plans you have for this.

Thanks so much for partying with us! :)
DeleteVery cool! I haven't tried Tunisian crochet . . . yet. I have a couple of long term projects like this that need some attention. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have you join the Yarn Fanatic Party! http://www.thephilosopherswife.net/2015/06/yarn-fanatic-party-40.html
LOL . . . you already have joined! Thank you so much! :-)
DeleteOf course! It's the best party!!! =D
DeleteHa! That is a long time, but I know how that goes. You get really excited about a project but the yarn, or the project, don't do what you want, you lose steam and it gets sent to the pile of "maybe I'll finish it someday" projects. I have a very large bin of those projects myself. Good luck in finishing this project up. :D

That's exactly what happens! I'm making progress and I hope to get it finished soon. I popped over to say hi but I couldn't comment as I don't have a WP log in. I
DeleteI hope you're able to finish - I bet it will turn out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'll be happy if it just turns out to be useful even if it doesn't turn out to be beautiful.
