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

Tip Of The Week

Not sure you want to follow someone on Twitter but you may want to see what they're tweeting about from time to time? Put them in a list! Their tweets won't show up in your news feed but when you go to the list you put them in voila!
Don't worry, a post on creating and using twitter lists will be coming soon!
We have a special request from Sarah to help her out with writing that post.
'If  I don't follow you yet on Twitter I'd like to add you to a list that I will use as an example in the post about twitter list. Can I add you? Leave your Twitter ID in the comments.' I will add you too and make sure Sarah gets your Twitter handle.
