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.

Thanks Sue. And for the reminder.
DeleteWhat a handsome guy! I love how you capture these birds. Makes me jealous!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing him with us at Photo Friday!
It's just a bit of practice but you do need the zoom!
DeleteAbsolutely stunning!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a fabulous wildlife photog!!
His name is wonderful too.
It's a rather charming name for a dapper little guy isn't it?
DeleteGreat looking bird! Love the fabulous red cap. And you photos!
ReplyDeleteI love how he has a matching vest to go with his cap ;)
DeleteWow - what a looker! Tell me, is his name pronounced like chit chat or the French for cat which is how I first read it? Thanks for joining in with #AnimalTales again - it truly has been an International week.
ReplyDeleteI believe it's a hard 'ch' like chalk and chit chat. I want to see a red kitty now =D
DeleteLovely series of a very nice bird!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany
Thank you Mascha =D
DeleteFantastic capture, and a beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable, the lighting was terrible so I was lucky to get a shot at all.
DeleteWhat amazing colour on the bird! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a bright red you would think he would be easy to spot, but it helps camouflage him well.
DeleteVery adorable little bird! You caught some nice photos.
ReplyDeleteIt was the first time I'd ever seen a crimson chat in person. He really was the cutest.
DeleteBeautiful bird. Love the red!
ReplyDeleteMe too! The red is rather spectacular.
DeleteThat is certainly a colorful little fellow. I can see why you would want to capture his image. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteIt was a challenge in the failing light but it was totally worth persevering to get the shots.
Deletewhat an amazing shade of red, the birds in the southern hemisphere are so much prettier
ReplyDeleteDo you think so? I'm always seeing birds from other countries that I think are stunning. Maybe it's just because they look so exotic to us?
