stitch markers

[fc1123]

Ok I'm not sure if this has been in this forum or not but I was wondering about where to get stitch markers that don't break or what can I use as a stitch marker right now I have a bobby pin to mark my stitch. My crochet teacher the other night gave me one of those plastic stitch markers and it broke on me

Look for the post in October called "stitch maker by paper clip". It was quite handy

Sorry, it was "stitch holder by paper clip"

I have made and received really nice stitch markers to use. But, if you can't make some yourself, you can use a safety pin, that what I used to use. Works good. I have also used just a piece of yarn in a different color to loop through the stitch I want to mark.

Do you have pierced ears? If so, you can use hoop earrings, or those wire style dangly earrings. I also make stitch markers...I have done them with the lobster claw clips (looks like an earring), used the hoops for wine glass stems & put beads on them, & also done some beading with bent wire to make markers.

I use wine charms - I picked them up at the $ tree (there were like 6 in a pack)

They look JUST like the stitch markers I've seen online for sale.

Work Great!

I make my stitch markers using some nice beads or crystals and put them on a lever back earring wire. You can get them at Michaels or Joanns in the jewelery making department. With the lever back they don't come out until I take them out which is nice if you are moving your piece around a lot.
