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.

love the yellow!
ReplyDeleteI can't say I'm a fan to be honest. I've never had much of a thing for yellow though so I'm a bit biased.
DeleteSo sweet!! Lovely pattern.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to finish it for her!!
She deserves to get what little happy moments she can in this life now, she has lost her husband and both her boys. It was the least I could do.
DeleteSo darling!
ReplyDeleteIt is so sweet she held onto it for all these years.
DeleteVery pretty. It looks like a lot of work - all that joining. Whew!
ReplyDeleteJoining is just 2 stitches on either side of each corner -went nice an fast.
