Stitch Markers

[stormyautumn]

SO after reading several threads on stitch markers, I was inspired. I made regular stitch markers, then ones to mark rows, and also ones to mark what hook you were using on the project. They all look much better in person. Well, all together it was a ton. I don't know that I would ever use this many, but once I got going, there was no stopping me. Sorry about all the pick, but click to make them larger.

Wow ...love this...the ones that mark hook size:idea what an GOOD idea

[tinkerpuppet]

Those are great! I may have to give those a shot. I love that you made some to show hook sizes, I'm terrible for forgetting that!

Not my idea, it was someone else one Crochetville, but I can't remember who. But I loved it, esp. for WIP that are put away for awhile. I always forget what I was using.

[Kiirs]

Wow! Awesome! May I ask where you get the little metal circles to put the beads and things on, and the clasp-type ones?

[grrlsmom]

Gorgeous! How come one of my DDs doesn't sit down and make me some of these? LOL

I got my supplies at Michaels Craft store in the beading section.

[Sahmlock]

i have been using PAPER CLIPS... uh, yeah, real boring... BUT....They are at least the funky striped painted kind. hee hee. NO time to make stitch markers in da house!

[silkymist]

wow love them...interesting in selling some?

[lhasaapsolady]

They are very pretty

[yarncat]

Pretty!

[angelfire]

those are wonderful...I love them.

[stormyautumn]

What are you offering??:think

[Mom w/a Motif]

Very nice! I have never tried making stitch markers. I just started crocheting with beads, though, so maybe it's a start... :P

You've been busy! All of them are really great work. These are a good sampling of various ways to make markers. Very creative!

[stormyautumn]

Okay, so I got the idea from This Thread (http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=28289&highlight=stitch+marker). It was several people that were talking about the numbers for counting and the letters to remember what hook you were using.

[sunnywolfgar]

what a wonderful idea Stormy Autumn~~~ where did you get the round ring that clips like that?

[MamaHooks]

stormyautumn, I love your stitch markers. I guess I will need to make some for myself. Yours are so pretty and very creative.

[daisycrochet]

They are really pretty and it looks like I'm going to have to make up some of my own, lol. Great another project to work on lol. :)

[crochetgoddess]

Those are very pretty. Now I am inspired to do a few more of these, haven't done them in a while but may have to start after seeing these beauties.

[Miss USA]

I agree, the hook size ones could be a life saver on UFOs, fabulous idea!

[Mapleleaf Mom]

Thanks for sharing this FABULOUS idea!!! I need to make some with letters for my UFO's . I've been known just to leave the hook in the project but sometimes it falls out , or it's the only one I can find in that size. Then I forget what I was using ... I'm sure we've all done it al least once. The stitch markers are great thanks for making life easier. I bet this starts a new trend!!!

[angel]

I keep looking at the bits and bobs to make stitch markers but I never know how I should actually do it...yours are fantastic, I also like the hook-size markers - I always forget what I'm using :)

[knitcrochetandpray]

:yay OMGosh these are fantastic! As has been mentioned priviously, the hook markers are ingenious. You have done such a great job! IMPRESSIVE!

[L-A]

Beautiful! Now I'm going to have to make some of my own... Thank you so much for sharing :)

[Afghaniac]

They're all so pretty. I love the ones that show hook size. What kind of jewelry finding did you use to put the alphabet beads on? My jewelry-making experience is very limited.

[Ladycrochat]

These are great! You did a fabulous job with them.....I bet you could sell them on E-Bay or in an Etsy shop......Especially the ones that remind you of the hook size that was used in the project......SHEER GENIUS!

[christinascrochethaven]

Great job! So cute:cheer

[Needle Arts]

Great idea -- they would make wonderful gifts for fellow crochets! Remember birthdays and Christmas is coming too.

[daisycrochet]

:( :cheer I did it! I made my own little hook size markers too, lol. Mine are no where near as nice, but they make me happy. I used some memory wire that I had laying around. Works good sofar. My pictures are in my blog, I hope you can get to them ok, seems I have used all my space up as far as my pictures on that site:( . Anyway have a look.

[stormyautumn]

:( :cheer I did it! I made my own little hook size markers too, lol.

I checked them out, and they look great! :clap Good job. :clap They are pretty easy to make aren't they!

[Notuswind]

what about marking your crochet hook like the ones i found on ebay here (http://cgi.ebay.com/Bejeweled-Hooks-Susan-Bates-Crochet-Hook-Size-G_W0QQitemZ280030580931QQihZ018QQcategoryZ41234QQr dZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting)? and for when the auction ends, here's a pic:

i think it's a pretty neat idea and the fact that there is a clasp on either end makes it nice for crafters on the go to be able to just hook them onto a keyring or something. i'm curious as to how the beads stay stuck to the top of the needle. gorilla glue, sculpy clay, or something of the sort? the only thing i'm not overly keen on is the sheeth over the hook. i think i'd find that a bit uncomfortable to work with and think that the yarn may get hung up or caught on it? :think otherwise, i think the overall idea is pretty neat! Congrats to Miss Bejeweledhooks on her creative insight!

[Shell]

wow someone got busy! lthey look great and so practical. the hook size markers.. why has no one thought of this before?!?! i was only last night thinking of finishing a scarf for my cousin's little girl but couldnt recall what hook i'd been using.

[Sennight]

They are so cool!!!
