     This time I am looking for something to do with my large collection of foam stickers and shapes, which my daughter is no longer interested in. It looks like this site has TONS of information about all crafts, hobbies and other stuff too!

    Memory Wire beaded Stitch Markers

     Just when I thought I had found absolutely every kind of stitch marker there was, here is even yet another type of stttch marker. She made loopes at the end of the memory wire, but I think memory wire end caps would look more professional, and would be less likely to snag than a loop at the end. Not to mention that memory wire is hard to bend in the first place. You would want to use the size of memory wire intended for rings.

     Even another idea! I know this is the type you need for crochet, but I am not sure how this would work for knitting....it seems they have to stay put somethow, and I don't see how these would stay on the needles... I am not an advanced enough knitter to have ever used stitch markers. Hey, if you use stitch markers, and have tried diffferent styles, let me know which ones you like best and why. Thanks! Fran

    Yet another kind of stitch marker...copper rings

     These are really simple and rustic. If you know how to solder, they would be fun and easy to make. If not, 10 bucks isn't too much for a dozen hand made stitch markers!

     These are just ADORABLE!! Again, on etsy. Very talented artist! Who wouldn't love these! Ok, I'll admit it, I am obsessed with stitch markers tonight! I think I am going to start making them as gifts for my knitting friends and perhaps to sell.

    Another style of stitch marrker

     Here's another way to make stitch markers. I am not sure which way is best. I am willing to bet every knitter has their favorite types for different reasons. They are also being made with no hardware at all, just "softflex" type wire, in a loop, with the beads. I haven't been able to figure out where they are crimping it from the set I saw. I am betting the bottom bead is a "crimp cover".

    Stitch Markers for crochet too!

     This set uses lever back earring findings instead of split rings, so that crocheters can use them. Which means if you have lever back earrings, you already have stitch markers! Alternately you can use lobster claw clasps.

    Cool Knitting Stitch Markers.... Example, ideas, how to make them
    franstuff
    by franstuff  7-18-2008   
     These I found on etsy. If you're into knitting, and not into beading, lots of people sell these on etsy for reasonable prices, like 5 to 7 dollars for a few of them. If you wanted to make them yourself you just have to mosey on down to the craft store and pick yourself up some split rings, some head pins, and some cool beads. Even easier, you could just buy the split rings and hang forever single earrings, charms, old keys, or whatever else strikes your fancy, from the split rings. Buy the split rings in a size approppriate to the size knitting needle you use. Why use boring stitch markers? BTW...split rings are just like key rings, only smaller.
