Description

If you’ve ever lost your place mid-row, miscounted a repeat, or thought, “Wait—did I already increase here?”… today’s episode is going to be a game-changer.


In this Knit & Tell mini episode, I’m sharing the tiniest (but mightiest!) tool that makes knitting smoother, calmer, and way more fun: stitch markers.


We’ll chat about why they’re not just “nice to have,” the ones I swear by from Twice Sheared Sheep, and one creative little way I use them that might surprise you.


 


💡 Inside this episode:


🧶 Why stitch markers = less mental load while you knit


🧶 How to use them for pattern repeats, shaping, and peace of mind


🧶 My go-to stitch markers that never snag (plus the ones that make me smile every time I pick them up)


🧶 One outside-the-box trick for using markers to stay organized in your knitting sessions


 


🛍️ Featured:


- Cat Clips from Twice Sheared Sheep – functional and ridiculously cute


- 3 things you need to start knitting - Cheatsheet (free)


 


📲 Want to see how I use mine?


Come hang out on Instagram @theknittingmamas—I’ll be showing off my favorite WIPs (and stitch markers!) all week.
