Susan Bates Stitch Marker Package Review

I've been using this type of marker for many years. It's thin and easy to use. Arrived quickly and well packaged with no damage. All stitch markers are relatively expensive for what you get, but they are must-haves for knitters. So I will always have this type on hand. I love that they come in a variety of sizes as few do and being thin they easily switch from needle to needle.

I knit every night and sew all kinds of afghans. Not only do I use them as directed, but when the pattern is particularly complicated I use them to mark between repeats for better tracking. This is easy to follow if you make a mistake while counting and only need to repeat a few stitches, not the whole row up to where you made the mistake. They jump from needle to needle easily which is an added plus.

These markers serve their purpose. However, the plastic case that comes with these markers seems a little wobbly, and I found that it would pop open when placed in a knitting pouch, rendering it completely unusable. I recommend putting your stitch markers in another small container if you like to keep them in your knitting bag like most users do.
