I don’t know if this will help anyone or not. I was having trouble keeping my marker on the double pointed needles when I was knitting in the round for a hat. I put a point protector on the end of the needle where the round ended and it worked great. When I got to the end of the round I just moved the point protector to the other needle.

Oh now that is such a good idea. You need a prize for that! :cheering: :cheering: :cheering:
I place my stitch marker between my first and second stitches when working with dpn’s to mark beginning of rows. I feel clumsy when I put protectors on my needles. You came up with a great idea that seems to be working for you!

my point protectors…they look like little socks.

I clip a stitch marker @ the stitch below the join of the 1st & 4th dpn 
and follow the cast on tail
