Wait for it\u2026The Humble Stitch Marker!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Happy&nbsp;Monday&nbsp;dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We hope that you have all had a great&nbsp;weekend&nbsp;and we are so excited to be back with you! As promised, we have so much awesomeness to share! So, let\u2019s get going!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you did read the title correctly. We are not pulling your leg here. We have unveiled the world\u2019s greatest knitting\/crocheting tip. Honestly, it really is the greatest knitting tip that we found ourselves giving out all the time to new knitters and crocheters- \u201cuse a stitch marker\u201d. We know, most of you out there are probably like \u201cwell yeah, duh!\u201d, or \u201creally, that\u2019s it?\u201d But truthfully, we run into this all the time! Several of the crafters that we work with don\u2019t realize the glory of these amazing little tools. The humble stitch marker takes the guess work out of your crafting! It lets you know when you are at the beginning of a round, helps you count rounds, helps you know where you are in your pattern, we could go on forever. This is not to throw shade on anyone, it is simply a tip to make your crafting lives so much easier and your work way more consistent. (Additionally, it does show mercy to your knitting\/crocheting instructor)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Truth be told, you don\u2019t have to buy the phenomenal handmade bejeweled stitch markers that you have been eying for months. Those aren\u2019t bad by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, many of us use them in our personal knitting, and they make an already fun job just that much more exciting! But, putting that to one side, you can totally use something that we all have- scrap yarn. Honestly, no one will judge you for upcycling your scraps like this. Alternatively, if that doesn\u2019t appeal to you, that\u2019s cool. You could also use a ring, or even a safety pin or paper clip. It all accomplishes the same thing- knowing where you are in your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"815\" height=\"815\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thrivevets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220404-Blog-Stitch-Marker-s.jpg?resize=815%2C815&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thrivevets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220404-Blog-Stitch-Marker-s.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thrivevets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220404-Blog-Stitch-Marker-s.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thrivevets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220404-Blog-Stitch-Marker-s.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thrivevets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220404-Blog-Stitch-Marker-s.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thrivevets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220404-Blog-Stitch-Marker-s.jpg?resize=245%2C245&amp;ssl=1 245w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thrivevets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220404-Blog-Stitch-Marker-s.jpg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thrivevets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220404-Blog-Stitch-Marker-s.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy&nbsp;Monday&nbsp;dear T.H.R.I.V.E.
