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.

ReplyDeletesuch an interesting flower, they remind me of corn on the cob or Christmas decorations hanging there!
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual looking flower, pretty in an weird way
ReplyDeletebanksias are one of my fave plants. i adore them; they feel so australian. tho i do have scary memories of reading snugglepot and cuddlepie when i was a child and being terrified by the banksia men. Merry XMas stella!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautifully captured. They made me think of the red hot pokers we used to have in the garden when I was a child. Although not the same colour they have a similar form
ReplyDeleteWoooo, thank you for that. Love the symmetry.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.

What a peculiar looking flower. It looks like a rather large bottle brush. I love the second picture, which (to me) looks like a strange looking sea anemone.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very Merry Christmas.
