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.

Lovely set of photos and I completely agree - big walks are the best for exploring! - Tasha
ReplyDeleteAnd exploring is the best for photos ;)
DeleteI love walks but it's been terribly hot over here that it doesn't make it a pleasant one. i love the sights that you saw; we don't get that over here!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the hot weather to return! Give me a hot day over a cold one anytime. We are incredibly lucky to have so much nature near by, I couldn't imagine life without it.
DeleteYou have one lovely big excuse for being walks there #AnimalTales
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid there is very little walking with Bob in Dubai at the moment, but we do go to the desert every friday morning to the lakes and walk him round the neighbourhood after sunset. We used to walk 2-3 times a week in South Africa at local nature reserves and take picnics or stop at dog friendly cafes and living on a golf course with a river and lakes Bob was walked round it the other evenings. I miss my walks
ReplyDeleteWell some walks are better then none I guess, but walks around the neighbourhood are definitely not the same as being able to get to the nature reserves. A lot of the reserves here dogs are banned but there are still plenty of places that are dog friendly. It's one of the things I do like about living here.
DeleteStella & I used to be in a 'Big Walkies' dog walking group before we were both too poorly to commit to it regularly. That place looks wonderful. If we're having a good day I drive us into town and we have a long stroll through the country park and along the river, definitely a place for the camera too! :)
ReplyDeleteWe have to drive to most of walking spots too. It's so worth it to walk along the river though.
DeleteWe walk Saari every day but when I am really busy she either has to have a shorter walk or the boys take her. As I am currently home alone I have promised her a long walk every day .... and we are both really enjoying them. No need to rush home to see to some-one else's needs and plenty of time to enjoy the countryside.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for sharing your walk on #AnimalTales
I would love to see some of the incredible countryside you and Saari get to enjoy together.
