Stitch Markers

I've been noticing that there are many more options for stitch markers than the boring plastic rings that I have been using. So, after I decided that I wanted some pretty beaded stitch markers, I thought it would be more fun to make some rather than just buy them.

I headed off to the Michael's store in Eau Claire after finishing Spring finals and got some jump rings, head pins, and beads. I then sat down to assemble some stitch markers today. It didn't take too long, and now I have eighteen pretty new stitch markers. For the time being I made two different designs, but I'm sure I'll make more in the future. They are super easy and super cute. My first project using these will be Sophie's cardigan, so now we'll see how they work out when actually being used.
