Stitch Markers

1

Just wondering, but how many of you DO NOT use stitch markers? I started using them when I first started crocheting (but got tired of both losing them and having to stop crocheting to take them out and put them back in again). So now I count my stitches :) (I totally don’t keep losing track of what stitch I’m on lolll)

I only usually use them at the end of a round now. I’ve gotten better at seeing my stitches so I recount when I lose track sometimes I use them for tricky things as well like marking front or back loops to work back into later. I usually use the spiral stitch markers or a length of yarn in a very different color woven back and forth. The clip ones just annoy me to open and close all the time otherwise they fall out.

I don’t usually have problems with counting stitches. If I ever need to keep track of certain stitches, I just pull a long piece of yarn through the stitch.

its been pretty rare of me not using them. I try to as much as I can, but sometimes I lose them. also, I always get distracted and forget how much I’ve done.

I NEED to have them!! They’ve always been a life changer. I try not to lose mine by clipping them to the end of my plastic (mini) garbage can.

I almost always use them. I’d rather be mildly annoyed than massively lost.

I typically just use the tail from the MR and pull it through the last st of the round. It can’t pull through and fall out, and it can’t get lost

I use them on long rounds of sc like if I have multiple rounds of sc just so I don’t get into a lull and just do sc’s indefinitely :smiling_face_with_tear: Or if I’m deisigning a pattern because I need to do good math and less counting helps my brain. Overall I can go without a stitch marker for small projects but for bigger ones I do use a stitch marker.

I don’t ether I only use them to keep my stitches from ripping out when I’m not crocheting. I like to make them tho
