Stitch markers

I have a full box of colourful stitch markers, little plastic safety pins really, and I love them. I always use them to hold my last stitch in place when I put my work down at the end of the day. This avoids the accidental undoing of work (often by me when I fumble to find the end of the piece when I pick it up again) but I also use them for marking the first stitch in a circular piece, you alway assume you will know which one it was but as your circle grows wider it becomes clear that this isn’t the case! I also use them like I would pins in fabric, to ‘tack’ together parts of a jumper or cardigan to ensure it fits (or that it’s vaguely the right shape). I do often find them down the back of the sofa, but, like I said, I have a box full of them.
