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 Features 89

Most Clicked

Ice cream is always good, but it's a little sweeter when it looks cute. With just a hat box you can make your own vintage ice cream holder. Enjoy!

Sarah's Favorite

Looking for a good cookie? How about a flour-less peanut butter oatmeal cookie? Yum!

Stella's Favorite

Sweet, good for you AND you don't need an ice cream maker?! This cinnamon ice cream with apple compote might just make summer better!

Pili's Favorite

Summer is all about picnics, BBQs and road trips. Keep the kids busy in the car with a DIY travel chalkboard.

Donna's Favorite

Nothing says summer like a campfire and s'mores. Rain can ruin all the fun... Now you can have the s'mores taste with these s'mores fudge brownies. Sorry, I can't help you with the camp fire...

And Last, But Certainly Not Least...

Last To The Party

I'll admit, okra scares me. But wrapped in bacon... chili bacon okra bites kinda make my mouth water.

    Stella, I'm so sorry I don't have time to party. Being taxi, for daughter, and nanny for the grands, is wearing me out! It's all I can do to post my own blog!
    Have fun!
