5 out of 5 starsI adore this blackberry charm!! The large berry beads are spot on, and the smaller bead details remind me of newly forming berries in the bush. The charm is well made, and more lightweight than I had expected, so it'll be perfect for attaching to a journal spine. I can't believe Emma included a gorgeous tasseled bookmark as an extra - thank you so much! Everything was packaged beautifully, and shipping was quick, considering it travelled from the UK to the US.

5 out of 5 starsThese stitch markers are even cuter in person! The color combination of the beads and the wires is beautiful, and these markers will surely jazz up my journal when alternatively used as journal charms. Emma included some cute cat stickers and a handmade blank card as extras too - thank you very much! Also, her communication and customer service was top notch, especially when assisting me with a minor shipping issue.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely gorgeous stitch marker. Very well made, you can tell the maker has taken pride in making this marker. The little sheep is so cute. It arrived in a bright pink padded envelope with a cat label which was just sounds like a silly thing to comment on, but it just added to the excitement of receiving the stitch marker. There was a lovely additional gift inside. I’ll be buying more stitch markers for sure ❤️❤️❤️🐾

Frequently asked questions
Which stitch markers should you use?
If you crochet, you need removable markers, whether they have a lobster or a lever clasp.
Ring Markers (in the Knitting Markers section) are perfect for knitters. They aren't removable so you can't use them for crochet projects, but they are a great way to mark off numbers of stitches in a knitting project. You can get different sized rings that fit different sized needles, so make sure to double check. I try to make mine snag-free by gluing seed beads over the joint.
You can also use removable markers for knitting, depending on purpose; lever clasps are large enough to serve as ring markers on needles up to a certain size (check listings for details).
What's the difference between a lobster and a lever clasp?
Stitch markers with lobster clasps are great as progress keepers because they're removable, and they're more reliable than lever clasp markers (which can sometimes open by themselves and fall out). However, lobster clasps are hard to operate, especially for people with weak hands or dexterity issues. I recommend these for use on projects where the marker won't be moving very often.
Lever clasp markers are a great ergonomic option for either knitting or crochet, and they can serve as progress keepers because they're removable. They're easier than lobster clasps to operate because they're larger and are much simpler to open/close. I recommend these for projects where the marker will be moving around a lot.
When do you ship?
Any orders that require a visit to the Post Office (parcels, international orders, etc) will be shipped on Wednesdays and Fridays, as I rely on carers to make the trip for me.
Domestic orders (up to large letters, not including parcels) are usually dropped in the post box on the day after purchase.
