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.

A Pinning Celebration
Can you believe it's almost the end of the year already? Are you ready for Christmas? I hope you've got some amazing Christmas crafts, recipes and inspiration to share with us this week, because we will have an extra feature spot just for Christmas posts next week!
Stick Pin
Stick pins have been used to hold ties and scarfs in place since the 18th C. Worn by both men and women they are also worn on the lapel as a decorative item.
