I have officially become a major fan of pretty stitch markers. For many years, I didn't bother using markers at all. But eventually I started using little silicone ring markers and discovered their utility. And then my husband gave me some cute crocheted ring markers as a Christmas stocking stuffer. And then an indie dyer friend started sneaking tiny beaded markers into her sock club shipments. I slowly started to get hooked.
And then... during a recent trip to Knit City in Vancouver, I succumbed to the allures of beautiful stitch markers from Caliope’s Fibre. I browsed the offerings, debated choices, and selected two set of makers that may have launched an obsession. Now I find myself searching for excuses to use markers. They just look so adorable lying against my WIPs.
