LOL … I know what you mean!

My pants are loose when I lose weight.

Losing weight makes my pants loose.

Ahhhhh, the fun of English.

No, I don’t know everything. I peeked at the peak when my curiosity was piqued.

I read somewhere to use bobby pins – the closed ones, not the open ones – for stitch markers, and I have used them since I started working in the round. I have some of those closed ring ones and they don’t work.

Rachel, thanks so much for the great article on stitch markers. I’ve not used them before and have made a few projects in the round and see how it would have been fantastic to use them if I’d only known! I’m pretty much an advanced beginner and I’m definitely learning from all the mistakes I’ve made.

Jo’s suggestion for the lever backed earing base is fantastic! I make jewelry and have oodles of them lying around.

Great suggestions! Here is my 2 cents!
1. I use post it notes to mark my place on a pattern.
2. I also take an index cars and staple a piece of each color of yarn and mark it color A, Color B, etc. this way when it’s time to change colors in a pattern, there is no doubt which color comes next.

Stitch markers are my best friends, so I treat myself when I have a 1/2 price coupon from the craft store. I use the pink, blue and white round ones that come in a green package. Yes, they are a little expensive but worth the 1/2 price. I use them for all the examples that Rachel has given above, plus counting and dividing the stitches on the chain when you first start a project. They make nice stocking stuffers.
