This is so not worth that price. I picked up one of these on clearance for $5 something a couple days ago at Joann, there is no way I would have ever paid $20+ for this. The stitch counter is awful... a bit difficult to turn and requires two hands, so you'd have to put down your knitting/crochet every row to use it. That needle gauge is basically paper, and is already in the trash. I only paid the $5 for this because stitch markers are always handy, and it was like getting the other things for free... they aren't things I like enough to actually pay for outright.

romilleI said this in another thread, but these are all things that new knitters buy before they know better. Stitch holders sound like a great idea until you learn that scrap yarn or dental floss is easier to work with (and cheaper). Point protectors seem like a great idea until you realize that they don't work that well. And who wants a tape measure that's not retractable? It's 2017! It's not like retractable tape technology is prohibitively expensive.
I will agree with you that the stitch markers are pretty decent, but at this price? Not worth it.
