Spent a very pleasant afternoon making some new stitch markers with my brightly coloured wooden beads that have finally arrived. A wonderful parcel full of yummy colours and painted patterns - I feel like a kid in a sweet shop:-) Of course when I had finished the light was so poor that I had to put the light on but you get the technicolour jist, don't you?
These stitch markers are much bigger for 'normal' knitting needles compared to my last smaller sets for sock knitting. The rings at the top are 10mm wide so they should fit most needles. I've been itching to make these but I had to wait for the larger findings before I could start but they arrived today so I could get going - at last!
The more I made, the more I loved them:-) I thought the swirls were my favourite but then I saw the multi-coloured ladybirds and then these big flowers! And then, I got to these;-) Smileys:-))
Yup, I'll definitely have to have a set of these! I think if I was getting bogged down in knitting a large garment - as I invariably do! - then seeing these peeping through the knitting would cheer me up immensely and bring a smile to my face.
I'll be posting some of these in my Etsy shop soon but these ones here are up for grabs in my christmas giveaway. So five prizes to be won. Just leave me a comment saying which one you would like to win and I will have a random draw for each set. Feel free to enter for all! I will post the winners next friday 11th December. No restrictions on country - happy to post anywhere:-) Hopefully it will get to you before the christmas rush! Good luck!
Wow - what fun. I love them all!
ReplyDeleteYou are just too creative (and too generous). I'd be happy with any of them.
ReplyDeleteI love them all so I'd be happy to win any of them. My favorites are probably the swirls though - they remind me of lollipops!

I'm a past winner, so maybe that disqualifies me, but I do lurk around your blog enjoying all your lovely work.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm enterable, then enter me for all of them. Favorite? Probably the ladybugs or smiley faces, but any of them would bring a smile to my face.
Hi EJ! Of course you are eligible - new giveaway, fresh start:-)I made five sets so we could have more winners for christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh, these would make keeping track of stitches in my knitting way more tolerable! I love the flower and ladybug ones the best :)
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteI love them all. They certainly are cute!
Glad I popped in to see what you are up to. I never saw wooden bead stitch markers. How very bright and cheerful. All are so much fun, and I promise I would give any of them a good home. My 2 favorites are the orange ladybugs and the smiley faces. Can't have too many smiles! But please enter me for all of them since I would definitely love any of them.
