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.

Announcement:
So everyone can enjoy their Summer Break all the more and still get their promoting done Pinbellish parties shall be live for a whole month from now until September. This means you can come and link your pins at any crazy time that summer permits.
Parties will go live on the 3rd Friday of each month.
Remember, every pin gets repinned no matter when it is linked up.
Each co-host will choose their top 4 favourite pins from throughout the month to feature and there will be no most or last features, so everyone has an equal chance of being selected as a favourite no matter when they link up.
Bejewelled Fringe Pin
The fringe pin - aka Diane pin, chignon pin - differs from the ripple pin as it has little bumps along the prongs to aid in gripping the hair.
