Which Stitch Markers Are Best

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.

Two Uses Tuesday Link-up 41

Two Uses Tuesday Linky Party
Two Uses Tuesday is LIVE until Friday at 11pm EST (3am  Saturday UTC).


Party Tip Q&A


Last week we asked if you know the difference between:
  • image name,
  • image title, 
  • image caption, 
  • image description, and
  • alt text? 
Image name is what you call the actual image file. Camera's generally name the files by number for eg: 1234.jpg. Best practice is to change the name to something more meaningful, for instance the banner at the top of this page is named TUTHeader.jpg. 
The image title on the other hand is what readers see when they hover their mouse over the image. If you hover over the banner at the top of this page a text box displays the words 'Two Uses Tuesday'. We'll discuss more about the other fields next week.
