Pics Of A Gift From A Nice Lady

Published on May 11, 2007 By MasonM In Blogging

I went over to Mom's before lunch and picked up the small package sent to me from a nice lady on a knitting forum. As I had guessed, it contained hand-made stitch markers for knitting. I had complained on the knitting forum that stitch markers tend to be "girlie" and that I hadn't seen any that appeal to a guy. She was kind enough to make some for me and surprise me with them.

I really like them and they'll come in handy on complicated projects requiring stitch markers.

The charm on the one is a tool box with tools. A nice "guy" charm.

it is to hold the end of the knitting until you can finish it.

Stitch markers are slipped onto the knitting needles at points one needs to keep track of, usually having to do with a stitch pattern change, or color change, so that one doesn't have to count every stitch.

I love them.. The making of stitch markers are almost as addictive as knitting is. They can be as simple as a loop of different color yarn.. to allkinds of beads & charms. These look awesome Mason....

Yeah it was, and totally out of the blue. She said it took her a lot of looking around to find a "manly" charm.
