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 82

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

Announcement - Two little reminders for you

Please only link up posts that follow the DIY, craft, recipe and upcycle theme. These would be posts about something you created. You can't be featured if you don't follow the theme.
Please visit other peoples posts. Of 154 links last week only 14 received a visit from fellow party goer. And that makes me sad =(

Tip of the week

Why should you visit other posts when linking up at a link party, other than because I asked you too?
  • Meet new bloggers.
  • Find new content to share on your social media channels.
  • Follow them and they may follow back.
  • Comment and share other posts and others will do the same for you.
All of which help grow your blog!! =)

    Aww, no, Stella! I'm so sorry, that is sad.
    That's one reason I've been MIA lately. If I don't have time to party properly, then I don't link at all.
    That chocolate bread up there look so good, I got a sugar rush just from looking at it!
