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.

Oh, there's that Gelato again... I want to EAT that stuff! Great idea using all the different motifs. So cute! Love the Pinterest board, too!
ReplyDeleteThat little red motif second from the top is your simple snowflake pattern. I don't know why it didn't come out pointier, I'll have to give it another go, it's one of my favs!
DeleteThe yarn was on sale for $1.99 a ball, I was thrilled.
Super cute, and I also like the colors!
ReplyDeletePersonally I have a very(!!) long hair so I use all kind of hair-ties
I would love to see your super long hair! Every winter I think I will grow my hair longer and then summer comes and I can't stand it.
DeleteSo so pretty and yummy!!
ReplyDeleteI so need to learn how to do this !!
When my PP finally accepts wearing hair ties, I'll need 'em by the billions, I'm sure!
So how was Christmas, and birthday?
Happy New Year!
Melinda
The little poppies and the ones that cover the whole hair tie are the ones I would recommend for starting with. Christmas was great. Thanks for asking. Birthday is a secret you know.
