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.

These are very pretty Stella. And such unique patterns! I love that youused the traditional red color.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there were traditional Easter colours.
DeleteThanks for hosting this Easter link up. Looking forward to your other themes throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteA pleasure! We have a few more exciting things planned ;o)
DeleteAdorable, Stella! Wish I could crochet!!!! My mil tried to teach me but I just couldn't pick it up.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she just wasn't the right teacher for you?
DeleteThat is so cute - I must try crochet again sometime, I've only ever made a pom-pom before! - Tasha
ReplyDeletePom-poms are lots fun =D I haven't made any in ages. Crochet basics are fairly straigth forward, I bet you'd have fun making stuff.
DeleteVery cute! In Scandinavia Easter is all yellow. Do you use yellow for Easter?
ReplyDeleteI've never noticed a traditional colour palette for Easter here. Rainbow colours with lots of red and yellow is the closest description I guess :o) Green is also common with blues, oranges, pinks all making an appearance.
DeleteCute! I need to crochet some Easter eggs, too!

I'd love to see your Easter egg crochet, I really wasn't sure it these would work out or not.
DeleteThose crochet Easter eggs are so cute! Nice job Stella!

Thanks Valerie :o)
Deletesuch a great pattern! so easy to add these little crochet eggs everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI tried hunting for some patterns and it seemed most of them were 3D - I wanted flat eggs and this happened :o) Gotta put them on a beanie I think.
DeleteWow these are so beautiful! Thanks for the pattern!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
