So tha...Stitch markers are for keeping your place. So that you everytime you get to one, its a reminder to do something (usually) different. Knitting in the round uses a marker as well for noting the beginning of the round (since it isn't flat, you don't know as easily when you've started a new row). The ring ones (in the picture) hang out on your needle between stitches, moving up as you go. There are other ones that hook onto a specific place and don't move, those are removable (hence the hook) <BR/> <BR/>You should read Elizabeth Zimmerman's "Knitting without Tears". My aunt's knitting group's motto is "life is too short to purl" and they pretty much make things in the round or garter stitch.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01697991569215235051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524670.post-1120658725141269822005-07-06T09:05:00.000-05:002005-07-06T09:05:00.000-05:00Educate a baby knitter who knows only how to knit ...Educate a baby knitter who knows only how to knit (remember, can't purl to save my life)... what are stitch markers for?

My friend made them as I would get shot if I came home with yet another hobby. I have some extra beads from god knows what. Let me know if you would like them and I would be happy to send them to you! Here's to having a better week at work!
