I've never see the coiless pins. The idea on the use of a hook marker was awesome! I have the same problem. must have at lease 5 G and J hooks! I keep finding them at the bottom of my craft bag or purse! LOL! DENISE, glad I'm not the only one who does this.  I've lost a gazillion hooks.  Well, not so much lost as hiding in WIP's. jd Thanks for going a little further on how to make a stitch marker.

I've been thinking of doing just that because sometimes the ones I buy snag ... but my question ... what is a hook marker? Thanks! Pam HI PAM - thanks for the kind words about the blog.  I use hook markers to remind me which size hook I was using if I abandon a pattern (temporarily or longer) and need to take the hook away.  I own a BUNCH of hooks, but found that I would run out of G or H hooks because I would leave them with one of the many projects I was working on.  So, I decided to begin marking the project in some way to make it easier to return to it.  In addition to leaving a copy of the pattern with the project (always a good idea!), I try to make notes on the pattern as I often change the hook size.  So, having hook markers in my most commonly used sizes has been very helpful - and keeps me from spending more money on hooks I already own! jd Love your blog … great article on stitch markers … I’ve been thinking of doing just that because sometimes the ones I buy snag … but my question … what is a hook marker?
