Thanks for the idea

In her response to my bag of fun post Starfish suggested that I should make some stitch markers. Thank you! I would never think of it myself since until that moment I didn’t even know that such things existed. So while I contemplate what my next knitting project should be, I tried to make some following the Beaded Stitch Markers tutorial.

It’s so simple and highly addictive. The best part is that I get to learn and practice new skills, which will come handy if I ever decide to make some earrings.

Here is the close up of my first wobbly stitch markers set made out of cheap plastic beads I bought when I just started beading (I’m slowly turning into the bead snob and now buy much nicer beads). I also made another set out of really ugly plastic strand from that bag of broken jewellery, but by the time I finished it got too gloomy (and still is 24 hrs later) over here to take close-up photos so you can only see one of them on the top picture.
