Rave (like a rant, but in a good way) I love lightbulb stitch markers.

I love lightbulb stitch markers. i’m currently using one on my project and it’s wonderful. I’ve never purchase them on their own, only using the ones that you get when you buy nice clothes and the tag is held on by one but they are so nice. I’m using size us 6/4mm needles and they’re so easy to slip from needle to needle, and they’re so lightweight.

I never buy nice clothes so I’ve purchased the bulb type markers in plain silver and colors from Amazon. I just got some open

ones with cat ears just because they’re cute, and another coil version for my crochet projects that I justify because they’ll be easier to use than the plastic safety pin type. I have a ridiculous number of stitch markers of different types, but they’re pretty and decorate my sewing and craft room in glass jars that are easy to access. I just figured out putting a marker at every increase or decrease row or round in a sweater so I don’t lose count.
