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.

I love learning about Australian flora and fauna from your gorgeous photos!!
ReplyDeleteThat makes me happy :)
DeleteHi Stella, what an unreal looking bird the Kookaburra is! And it doesn't look a bit fazed by you taking photos. If only the Greeks weren't so into their 'hunting' we may get to see more birds, alas, here on the Zakynthos they seem to eat anything with feathers!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
xx
That's a bit short sighted. What happens when they're all gone?
DeleteBeautiful detail and he looks rather special with his fun hair do and serious expression
ReplyDeleteHe is pretty special, you should hear him laugh.
DeleteI'd love to hear a kookaburra laugh right now, it's such a great sound, and so quintessentially Aussie! Lovely photos #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteHe's been popping back to our place all week. It's wonderful to have him visit so often.
DeleteI always wondered what a Kookaburra looked like! and love that 'he' was almost sitting in an old gum tree :)
ReplyDeleteIt would have been great had 'he' been in the tree, right?
DeleteWhat a great spot, what a beautiful bird
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
Such an interesting bird, lovely shot! Now I will be singing that kookaburra song all day! :D #sundayphot
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! How perfect to find it so near a gum tree, too! I haven't heard that song since my childhood, but I still remember it :)
ReplyDeleteI love your bird shots. I need to go out and play with my camera.
ReplyDeleteAS soon as I read the title, I couldn't help but sing the song! They're such a pretty bird, great photos.
