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 105

Two Uses Tuesday Linky Party
Two Uses Tuesday is LIVE until Thursday at 10pm EST (2am  Friday UTC).

I'm busy helping to save an old WWII ship from being destroyed.  

Last week I built a new website for her: Historic Ship 1321. Take a look and let me know what you think for having being built and content added in only a week.

The ship and Magnus the puppy have me running around in circles so I would really appreciate an extra pair of eyes or two letting me know if I've missed anything. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon.

    I love those etched Merry Christmas plates, that's such a good idea and the glittery DIY ornaments too - I'm already in the mood for Christmas! So glad to be back and contributing this week too, I have missed it. Thanks for hosting! - Tasha

      Me either, it's all going too fast! Thank you for the lovely comments on my first post back too. About switching to WP - nothing wrong essentially with blogger but I've been having some technical issues with spam links etc. and I was planning on switching to something new with a new name come 2017 - I'll still be blogging the same way and things, and will be joining in with these link-ups but just trying something new. I still love blogger :) Also, has there been any news on HDML 132? - Tasha

    Stella, I don't see how you do all you do! I'll go over and check out the ship's website.
    Those glitter ornaments are fab! And the color block ones are pretty in pink!
    Finally, I have a post I can contribute again!! YAY!!

    The ship's website is amazing, Stella! To put all that together in so little time, you are truly talented... Or you have super-powers.
    *And* you still host this great party, too! Yup, you must have super-powers ;) Thank you for all your work!
