If you’ve ever lost your place mid-row, miscounted a repeat, or thought, “Wait—did I already increase here?”… today’s episode is going to be a game-changer.
In this Knit & Tell mini episode, I’m sharing the tiniest (but mightiest!) tool that makes knitting smoother, calmer, and way more fun: stitch markers.
We’ll chat about why they’re not just “nice to have,” the ones I swear by from Twice Sheared Sheep, and one creative little way I use them that might surprise you.
💡 Inside this episode:
🧶 Why stitch markers = less mental load while you knit
🧶 How to use them for pattern repeats, shaping, and peace of mind
🧶 My go-to stitch markers that never snag (plus the ones that make me smile every time I pick them up)
🧶 One outside-the-box trick for using markers to stay organized in your knitting sessions
🛍️ Featured:
- Cat Clips from Twice Sheared Sheep – functional and ridiculously cute

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
