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.

That looks so pretty, I would be so proud to be able to make that I'd definitely make that.
ReplyDeletetable runner? how long is it? you could use it as a bed scarf - if you have heard of that lol which is basically like a long skinny blanket you add across the bottom of the bed. What about redo into a tote/purse? You could alter with some more yarn/thread into a shawl and add some more beads. Could reuse as wall art - maybe cut it into 3rds with the center the biggest piece? ok outta ideas. M :)
