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 56

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

Tip of the Week: 

Tip of the Week: Last week we talked about checking out how your site appears when using different web browsers. How'd that go?

 Did you know that your site might render differently on different size screens (computer, tablet, cellphone)? It may even appear differently on different mobile devices! So go around the house and check out your site on all the devices in your house. Then the next time you're with your friends have them view your site on their mobile device.

 Make sure you bookmark it for them too.

      I used to work with this girl who would rave about her Advent calendar every year. Your calendar made me smile and think of her.

      Really? I love to hear that the tips are appreciated. We try to share all the little tid-bits that we learn along the way and all the little things that we wish others fixed that we discover as we blog each week.
