Suck on that traditional stitch markers who have no openings! Why don’t they have openings?! How in the name of crafting are you supposed to to get them off?!
I never understood this and thought there had to be another way. Then Pinterest showed me the light. Make your own with earring closures! It’s so obvious I could punch myself in the face.
Lever back earring clasps. Jazz them up with a charm and you have an easy, inexpensive solution. I bought these at Micheals for just a few bucks. No sticking to yarn, easy to attach even easier to remove. My life just got a little easier. And I freaking love it!
Wooohooo!

Hair grips (bobby pins?) make the best stitch markers for crochet.
Really? I thought they’d snag the yarn
Mine never do, and they are ideal because they hang flat against the work and don’t get in the way.
