Clover Lock Ring Markers, 20/pkg

I've been knitting for several years and have tried many knitting notions. I have used various markers including my favorites from Boye. Recently, I saw the Clover Lock Ring Markers and decided to give them a try. These are now my favorites and have replaced my old ones from Boye.The colors are nice and bright and I can see them clearly no matter what color yarn I knit with. Being able to lock and unlock the markers is a plus. I can quickly mark an area of my knitted garment and easily remove the marker when I'm done with my knitting. I sometimes use them to temporarily join two sections/seams together.They glide nicely along my knitting needles that I hardly notice them while I'm knitting. There's a note on the package that suggest storing the markers unlocked. No worries. They are quite sturdy. Great knitting notion to have on hand and not too expensive.

Well-made and should last a long time. I still have my old set of these, but one of my projects needs a lot more markers, so I bought a second set.The markers clip on, kind of like a safety pin, and can be moved wherever you need them.

I love Clover products. These are great stitch markers.

I love the safety pin style markers. These are very sturdy and easy to use. They work great and stay closed. They are bigger than my ones I currently use which makes them easier to attach and easier to remove. Definitely recommend getting these.

Or maybe the more appropriate question is, Where have I been? With my head in the sand?! I've been crocheting for over 30 years and yet somehow or other managed to NOT know what a stitch/ring marker is. And before you ask, YES I really did think that all my fellow crocheters were out there doing just as I always did: counting those rows. Then counting them again. Then recounting. Arghh! Oh well, at least I can look forward to a much easier way of counting for the NEXT 30 years: stitch markers! Woohoo! Apparently there are different kinds, and just as apparently many of them are not liked much by crocheters. So I did what I always do when it comes to my beloved Amazon: READ THE REVIEWS! Thank you, thank you, all my fellow crocheters out there, for taking the time to review something as seemingly small and insignificant as a stitch marker - because people like me truly do count on people like you! I bought these based on the reviews and I've been marking my little heart out ever since. They are well made, simple to use, and EXTREMELY helpful. Plus - they don't lose count (like I quite often did!) If you mark Row 20, it's STILL on Row 20 next time you check - lol. Love them!

For knitting and crochet, locking stitch markers are a must and Clovers work consistently. They are far more expensive than the giant $.49 packs I also saw advertised, but I craft way too hard to buy nonsense. These can be easily opened and closed with one hand once you're done it a few times.I wish they came in more colors so I could identify my LHS vs. RHS and increases vs. decreases - I make a lot of garments that use leaning increases and it would be really nice to know at a glance what I am looking at. Lightbulb! I'm going to paint the heads on half of each color with a different color of nail polish - that way I will have 4 colors! A little work yes, but it will give me what I need.These are sturdy, precision markers. You will be able to mark stitches in socks or small amigurumi without splitting your yarn or stitches so you will be pleased with their functionality. I'm just bummed about the color choices.

These are the best markers. I just wish there was a case, not a plastic envelope.

Excellent product
