Stitch Markers v1 - My frist real attempt

Here they are. My first real attempt on making stitch markers. I actually took the time and went to the Bead Connection and took a lesson for a great teacher Cindy aka Cynthia who will be featured in an upcoming issue of "Bead and Button" magazine. She maked it look so easy and I have to say after the first one. I became addicted. This is what I was able to make in a few hours... LOL... Oh I can see another addiction is forming. Help...

I have to say that I truly enjoyed making these. Now I just have to make the ones for all the swap partners I have. I have joined another group that swaps just stitch markers... LOL This is way to much fun. I found out about the group from one of my friends mom and I though cool But now I think this is very COOL. I have to have 10 markers in the mail by today. So I guess I will be working my but off doing that... LOL

These markers were made using the wire wrap method. I did not use eye pins or head pins. I simply wrapped the wire on both ends after beading the beads I wanted to use. I also used split rings (16mm) but would like to find some smaller versions. Like the something that would be for about a size 10.5 for smaller needles. As for the beads I just simple went shopping and changed my mind like 20x. LOL

I hope that you enjoyed this little side track from knitting. ~ Enjoy!
