*has no idea what a stitch marker is (other than what it obviously sounds like)*.

And it's pretty much what it says on the tin - it's a "thing" that is used to mark the start of a part of knitting. I use mine to mark the start of a round (if I'm knitting something like a hat or a sock that doesn't need to be sewn together at the end), and also to mark repeats of a pattern within a round.
They can be made of anything, but I like mine to be a bit like jewellery, it makes my knitting look pretty


You can see the markers ringing the beginning of this top I've done - this has a lacey pattern around the bottom, so I have a marker at each point the pattern repeats, so I can see easily if I've mucked it up.
