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.

What gorgeous birds!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow close do you have to be to see the whites, uh, pinks or grays of their eyes?? lol
Well that depends on if you have a camera with a zoom lens or not ;0) pretty close!
DeleteSo is this where the phrase "great Gallah" comes from?? Great array of shots. very interesting indeed. #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteGallah's are very playful and they will hang upside down and play chasey, they will throw things at passers-by and pretty much behave like a pack of 10 year old boys. So when someone refer's to you as being a 'gallah', or 'great gallah' they mean you're mucking around like a pink and grey parrot does :o)
DeleteWhat a beautiful bird, love the pink heads!
ReplyDeleteThey are really spectacular and I never get tired of seeing them.
DeleteI love the Pictures, and what a beautiful bird, I love to find hollow trees, Clio lending a helping hand for Coombe Mill

I'm in Australia =D we are lucky to have some wonderful parrots here.

DeleteLovely lovely lovely creature. You are so lucky to be able to see them in real life. Thanks for sharing these amazing photos. #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteWe might miss out on a lot of critters but we have plenty of our own to make up for it.
