So I never used them, and never had any curiosity about them. When I learned to crochet, many years later as an adult, I bought packs of crochet hooks, which came with free stitch markers. I admit, I threw them out! 'What do I want extra silly plastic tat for' I thought. Oh how wrong I was! Since I learned to use stitch markers, I've learned to love them! The blog post is aimed at knitters and crocheters of all levels, whether you are starting out and wondering what markers are even for, anyway, or an experienced yarn crafter looking for new ideas, there are tips tgere for everyone.
