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 47

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

We've had the most gorgeous sunny weekend here in Western Australia and we spent a lot of time in the garden.

We planted some lovely natives - I hope we haven't got them in the ground too late for the spring rains - the most spectacular of which is Kennedia nigricans, a native pea which has flowers of yellow and black, a true black too, not a blue variant. I can't wait for it to flower so I can show you all.

I guess most of you are entering into autumn weather and are starting to see lots of pretty fall colours and although I'm not decorating for fall I've rounded up some great pumpkin crafts as inspiration for your fall decor.  Let me know in the comments what season it is in your part of the world.
