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
