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.

    Lol, the piece about the household pins made me think of a time I had colored sewing pins in a project and ironed it. Whoops!

    Happy weekend, Stella! Thanks for the party!

    Hi Stella, this is the first Pinterest party I've come across (I lead a sheltered life!). I've not yet got the hang of Pinterest yet, but when I have I will link up when I can.

      I linked up one of your pins for you so you can see what it looks like. I just opened the pin and copied the address from the address bar. I'll be sharing it on my 'Purfylling Life' board, Pinterest will give you a notification that I shared it. That way everyone who follows my board will see your pin.
