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.

Such lovely photos. I am visiting from Photo Friday. What a fun, interesting blog you have! I love the blog name too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Pam. I'm glad you enjoyed the flowers =)
DeleteOh wow! I would have never guess that they were that tiny! I know that if I were out on that walk, I would have totally and completely missed the beauty. So lovely! Thank you for guest posting and thank you for sharing such amazing wonder with us at Photo Friday!
ReplyDeleteYes, our spring wildflowers remind me every year just how much I'll miss if I don't stop and take a closer look. Thank you so much for the opportunity to share my photos with your readers!
DeleteWonderful an great shots.

Greetings from Germany
Thank you Jutta. I'm not sure I understand how the challenge works but I'll be sure to take another look.
DeleteWow Stella Lee...they really are tiny! You got some beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteAren't they just? When I first came and I heard everyone raving about the amazing flowers I expected to see fields of bright flowers, but it's not the case at all.
DeleteI was blown away by the gorgeous wild flowers....I live in Australia and never been to see them....a must for my bucket list!

If you ever have an opportunity to wander the old bridal trails in Perth you won't be disappointed.
DeleteThanks, Stella for opening my eyes to all the beauty that I would have just stepped right over! or on!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! God's creation is marvelous.
It's easy to miss those tiny beauties, I'm sure I've stepped on a few myself.
DeleteI always love looking at your photographs on Fridays. You have such an artistic eye :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, at least someone thinks so! Thank you =)
DeleteBeautiful collection of flowers
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
Thanks for hosting such great linky.
Deletewonderful photos. i love the secrecy of australian wildflowers. they hide away and you have to look hard at times but it is really worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteIt truly is worth hunting them down. It's like discovering another world.
DeleteBeautiful photos looks like a lovely place, Clio lending a helping hand for Coombe Mill
ReplyDeleteThank you =)
DeleteWow they are so tiny but beautiful & delicate. It looks like a lovely place to visit xx
ReplyDeleteAnd there are hundreds of varieties.
DeleteGreat shots! The fringe lily is stunning.
ReplyDeleteI found it super-extra-interesting to look at these. I live in central Florida, where many Australian plants have been introduced (and some have become invasive). Although they're different species, there are many wildflowers around the area that resemble a few of these. My favorite was the Sundew, because there's one in my yard that looks exactly like it - but it grows to four feet tall!
I want to see your giant four foot flower!
