Page,
I've started the fingerless gloves for your brother and needed stitch markers that would work on size 2 needles. Needless to say, the ones I got from my mother are somewhat too large. So, I decided to try my hand at making my own. Here is the result:
As you can see from the comparison, they are quite a bit smaller than the standard ones. I used a size 8 needle to wrap the wire around and it is about the perfect size for the size 2 needles without stretching the fabric between stitches.
That's about it until I get the fingerless gloves finished.
Love,
Mom
Very cool! I love that you are so creative. I have always admired hand made stitch markers but never took the time to learn how to make them. Another good excuse to buy beads too!
