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 91

Most Loved Link

Donna's love for succulents last week must have rubbed off on you! Don't you think it's about time you go and make your own succulent garden?

Sarah's Favorite

Need a new side table? Don't get rid of that wine crate! Use it to make a DIY nightstand. Makes me want to buy a few bottles of wine...

Stella's Favorite

What could make your special day even MORE special? DIY finishing touches like this ring bearer box.

Pili's Favorite

I see a nice rustic, farmhouse project in your future... like a DIY hanging lantern!

Donna's Favorite

Looking for new lunch ideas? How about a 3 bean salad?

And Last, But Certainly Not Least...

Better Late Than Never

You don't need another quilt lying around! Take that blanket rack and turn it into a farmhouse vegetable rack. Having fruits & veggies in sight helps you eat them more often.
