This morning I went to World Market and bought a medium sized glass jar for my stitch markers. I starting the gathering of stitch markers after I came home. Please be aware that I do have more stitch markers hiding in various knitting bags around the house. I have stitch markers that range from lace knitting sizes all the way up to size 35 knitting needles. I do not have any for the size 50 knitting needles, I don’t think that they make them, since very few people knit on size 50 or larger knitting needles. At this point I would say I have well over 300 just in the jar.
Some of the stitch markers are hand made by me, they are mostly the beaded ones and the ones with charms. Some are from events that I have gone to. Some come with yarn and fiber orders. I do realize that I could lose a stitch marker a day for a year and still not run out of stitch markers. Please send more. Perhaps we could swap some.
I have stitch markers from New Zeland, Australia, The United Kingdom and of course the United States. I even have some that my husband printed on his 3D printer.
I did make a choice to remove about a dozen stitch markers in a style that I do not like and will pass them along to other knitters. I also found one that is in need of repair. One that is broken beyond repair that will go into the trash.
As I consolidate my knitting and notions bags I am sure that a lot more stitch markers will make their way into my jar. I always switch out the stitch markers so that they all get used. Here is the best picture that I could take today. Unfortunately I have so many that they could not be photographed individually.
