Tuesday Tips: DIY Stitch Markers
I forgot Tuesday Tips last week, oops! Thank my swiss cheese brain.
Today's tip: clean, simple stitch markers.
I use simple jump rings. You can get them in packs of a hundred (or so) in various sizes. I think I may have paid 99 cents? If not $2.99--no biggie. I use these especially for lace weight when you don't want big bulky stitch markers. I did have to use a tool to pinch the gaps away. I have two sets...one in 4 mm and 6 mm. They also work great for socks on small needles. Like I said small, unobtrusive and if you lose one you have HUNDREDS more.
And really all those fancy 20 dollar stitch markers just use these, some pliers, beads, and bead pins and poof fancy stitch markers.
