Decided to try my hand at making stitch markers. I never have up until now because I have been gifted some beautiful handmade one by some of you out there. I’m making the kind that tell you what to do when you get to them which I’ll find especially helpful with SSK & K2tog since I tend to forget which I need on which side. Its taken me a little bit to get the trick of wrapping the wire but I seem to be going a little faster now. Its actually a little addicting….
(yes, I am still knitting the blanket, I got about 200 more yards knit last night)

Those stitch markers are GENIUS! I may have to run out to my local craft store and make some of these myself!
Those look GREAT!
Stitch marker making is addicting!
I thought my DH how to and he loves it!
I DID run out to the store and made a whole batch of these last night! Check them out on my blog.
how cool are those? I like the idea of the SSK vs the K2tg because I always screw that up too!
very fun.
Cool idea! I can never remember where to SSK and where to K2tog either.
I love them! I need those reminders too…
I envy anyone that has the patience to make stitch markers. The whole wire wrap thing does my head in so I’ll happily admire yours. They’re great!!
Oh, that’s an ingenious idea! I suppose you could even find a way to make stitch markers for complicated cables, too, so you could put the pattern down and just knit.
I absolutely love your stitch markers, and they’ll definitely come in very handy! Beautiful work!
What cool stitchmarker! And a great idea….
