Where do you get good stitch markers?

Week 3 pattern reading and I keep losing my place... Hobby Lobby have decent ones or is Amazon the move here... ๐ŸŒž ๐ŸŒž

i use scrap yarn tied into a loop, works fine and it's free lol... didn't really see the need to buy anything fancy for beginner stuff ๐Ÿ˜…

Just use carabiners from the hardware store climbing/hardware section, the tiny ones! Super cheap, you probably already have some laying around if you do any outdoor stuff. I grabbed a pack for like $6 instead of buying the cute craft store ones! Not fancy but they work fine and you can clip a bunch on your bag strap so you don't lose them mid-project.

That's exactly what my mom showed me way back too, and I keep TELLING myself I'll do that instead of buying markers lol...never do it though!!! Gonna try it today on this granny square thank you for the reminder!! Needed that little nudge for sure

scrap yarn works, literally never bought markers

Scrap yarn, literally... why buy fancy

Marilyn BolanderInstructorAug 14, 2:44 PM

Sara, Kimberly, you're both right and it's what I use too. My mother-in-law would've fainted at the idea of buying markers when there's a whole bag of scraps sitting right there!! Missing you all already. Hoping there's a fall session so we can keep at it.

Scrap yarn it is then, saving my money. Missing the Wednesday class already, hope the fall session actually happens Marilyn.

Scrap yarn here too now, converted ๐Ÿ˜Š Missing Wednesdays already! Fingers crossed for fall, Marilyn ๐Ÿ™

Marilyn BolanderInstructorAug 19, 2:44 AM

Cami, you and Joyce both converted in the same afternoon, that tickles me! I'm sitting here Wednesday morning out of habit with yarn in my lap and nowhere to Zoom into! Put a good word in wherever you put those things, I want that fall session too. Matt

Sara, that makes it official then, the whole class went scrap-yarn and I couldn't be prouder! I'm over here Wednesday mornings still holding my hook out of habit with nobody to teach. Miss you all already. Send that fall-session wish up wherever you're sending it, mine's right there with it.
