Which Stitch Markers Are Best

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.

Tip of the week

Tips of the Week - For the next month your Two Uses Tuesday tips will be about goals. If you haven't given up on your New Year's resolutions/goals yet, good for you! For those of you who have, let's get down to basics.

Think about your goal. Is it S.M.A.R.T? Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely (or Tangible). Being able to clearly define your goal under these categories will make you more likely to succeed.
