Oops!

trapped stitch marker I discovered an "oops" on the Half Circle Pi Shawl. One of the stitch markers was accidentally knit into the shawl. The only way to remove the marker (other than frogging the shawl which I am NOT going to do) is to cut the marker.  I've managed to knit markers into items before - have you?

Helpful Tools - Removable Markers

baby hat with removable stitch marker January 2018 Removable stitch markers are very helpful. I use them in many ways: to indicate the right side of my knitting, to mark my progress in the knitting session, to show measurements (the green marker on this baby hat is at the 3 inch mark - I begin decreases at 4 inches), and to hold a dropped stitch until it can be repaired. Over the years, I've used various stitch markers , but the removable ones are my favorite because they are so versatile.
