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.

Thanks Ana, I hope for it to have some serious improvements this year.
DeleteThere are so many layers to those old gowns. What a neat project to take on!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why it is I start these projects so late and give myself such little time to work on them.
DeleteWow! This is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThere's still an long way to go until this is properly finished.
DeleteYou are one PATIENT woman!!

Hi Stella, making a Froufy gown is a project and a half. I have never been a seamstress (much to Mother's disappointment), but can appreciate how much work how much time and effort goes into making it (my Mum, Auntie and Uncle can all do amazing things with a bit of fabric, a needle and thread).
