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.

Two Uses Tuesday 80

Two Uses Tuesday Linky Party
Two Uses Tuesday is LIVE until Friday at 11pm EST (3am  Saturday UTC).

Tip of the week 

This is week 4 of our blog clean up. How are you feeling about it? I know I love clean spaces smile emoticon
I want you to think about what makes you click through to a blog post? Catchy title, sure. Gorgeous image, absolutely!
That's what I want you to look at this week, your images. Best place to start: your most visited posts! Use Google Analytics to figure out which ones those are then get to work. Make sure you have a good pinnable one, that your URL is on them, branding is consistent and that you're using the best quality image possible. Schedule time into your blog maintenance routine to go back to the beginning of posting time to plug away at every last one.
