My favourite form of marker is a modest length of fine yarn placed between the needles at the appropriate position. These markers will not fall out of the work at the junction of dpn needles and we always have a little yarn on hand to use. To reduce the number of dangling ends and to reduce the possibility of them pulling out when freshly established, I shoe how to use one piece of yarn to mark two positions. This type of marker can be pulled up the work with you as your fabric grows, or left if place for future reference (augmented by tying on more yarn as you go).
Keep your markers fairly short and use fine and brightly contrasting yarns (that won't leave fluff in their wake).
