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.

I KNEW I Shouldn't visit your blog. Just makes me want to get back on a Qantas flight and head back to Australia! That is, indeed, a very impressive old looking tree. #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteSounds like you enjoyed your visit! =D
DeleteLovely photos, the detail on the tree and reflection in the water is lovely. #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteOooh - I imagine a big croc lurking in the water under that beautiful old tree ...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great old tree, I wonder what happened to it to get to this stage

Gorgeous pictures Stella. I am so fascinated by old trees and the way they twist.

ReplyDeleteLovely shots Stella, the detail is amazing. There are always so many cool patterns to find in nature. - Tasha
ReplyDeleteI adore trees from every which way Stella, I think they're so special and you've certainly captured a character here.
ReplyDeleteThe details of the trunk and it's reflection are great. Oh how I miss Australia!
The tree is architectural but you found teh perfect angle and managed to get a bird to cooperate and pose, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Very nice picture Stella. Looking at this old tree is a little like looking at history
ReplyDeleteHe looks so amazing. I can see a face and the knowledge that you get with age. #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteI LOVE trees! Such amazing shots, I can see a face too :)
ReplyDeleteI love nature shots. I can see myself doing it someday (once I get some time and a decent camera, that is...)
ReplyDeleteHi Stella, that tree looks amazing. I bet it was huge when it was alive.
