October 16th, 2007 by Heather

You asked what I do with the leftover part of my toggle clasps after I make stitch markers? Well, I make crochet row markers!!

I was getting frustrated because the only crochet row markers I could find were ones with clasps on them, and those always seemed to snag on my yarn. But not these ones! You simply slip the bar in between the stitches you are marking, the beads hang in the front marking your stitch

and the bar extends across the back of your project:

I have been so pleased with how these work, and you have no waste when you make stitch markers. I have a couple of sets in my store, Baby Blossoms, if you’d like to check out the different styles and looks that can be made

I LOVE LOVE LOVE theses… I have always used safety pins or paper clips, and when I’m crocheting at the doctors office or something people always ask why there are paper blips on my yarn which is very much not paper. Thanks!
