In a perfect crafting world we’d all have our favorite stitch markers ready to go at all times…
but let’s be real for a sec
Sometimes a stitch marker vanishes into another dimension then im looking for anything that might work.
ive seen ppl use paper clips, earrings, safety pins, scraps of yarn… but I’ve always wondered… what else could work?

Mostly natural items, like if I’m crocheting outside and forget a stitch marker I use grass, dead leaves, sticks, chicken feathers, cowfence wire, and chicken wire. XD

Ironically I think I never used anything other than a regular stitch marker. Probably, if anything, I used before I owned them was little scraps of yarn.

Loom band? I’ve also used yarn scaps and a safety pin (bc the stitches were too small for a regular stitch marker) but that’s not too crazy
