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.

Aren't they glorious birds? Just so beautiful and majestic.
ReplyDeleteThey are just incredible to watch.
DeleteBeautiful bird, I love that stare in it's eye
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
It's a rather penetrating stare.
DeleteSo beautiful, there eyes are so captivating, Clio lending a helping hand for Coombe Mill
ReplyDeleteI'll be trying for a better eye-shot next time, the ruby red is just fabulous.
DeleteWhat a totally beautiful bird - he looks so proud sitting up there.
ReplyDeleteHe certainly doesn't seem to be worried about being exposed. All the other birds are hiding in foliage.
DeleteStella, I love your bird photography, well, all of your photography, really!
ReplyDeleteYou captured his personality and beauty, yet fierceness!
He does have a fierceness to him doesn't he?
DeleteWhat a handsome chap #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteA real stunner!
DeleteHe looks so proud and lovely stance! You have an awesome lens and the photos are good! I saw some seagulls of different kind this morning and I only have nifty fifty so I need to go near but they fly away when I do. I wish I have a a lens like yours =) #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteMy very first bird shot ever was with a nifty fifty, a magpie on the ground quite close to me. I wish my zoom took shots equally as beautiful, but most birds won't come that close. I use the 55mm-250mm cannon for most of my bird shots. It falls shorter then I would like but it's also light and lets me reach treetops that are close by.
DeleteBeautiful bird. I really need to get a lens to help in my photos. Yours are really great images.
ReplyDeleteFinding the right lens really does make a difference.
DeleteWhat a wonderful creature! I love these shots.
ReplyDeleteThey are just stunning, I wish I could get closer.
