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 have absolutely loved joining in with these throughout the past year, Two Uses Tuesday has kept me creative and actively engaged in a lovely community which has inspired me to stay and be creative. I've got lots of cute Christmassy ideas for the rest of December so I'm hoping they help to see it out in style! Are there any plans at all to keep TUT alive, or will 2016 be the last year it runs? - Tasha
