Stitch markers are like jewelry for your knitting!


I am offering three more sets of stitch markers. The lighting in my house was terrible all weekend -- rainclouds and diffuse light and blah. I will have photos of the particular stitch markers up by the end of the day Monday, but I wanted to get the auction post up in time for people to see it during the Monday morning LJ check before work.

Set 1:




Sized to fit a US 10 needle, set of five. Round bead decorated with motif resembling a Chinese brush painting, bracketed by smaller accent beads in earth tones. Wire wrapped loop with all ends tucked in for snag free knitting.

Bidding starts at $7.50

Set 2:



Sized to fit a US 10 needle, set of five. Pewter charm in the shape of a teapot, topped with five iridescent seed beads. Strung on nylon-coated steel beading thread, for both endurance and completely snag free knitting. No jumprings or wire means absolutely no sharp edges to snag your fabric.

Bidding starts at $7.50

Set 3:



Sized to fit a US 8 needle, set of 4. Minimalist design with a single red and silver bead.

Bidding starts at $5


I am also offering a three month subscription to a box of random fun stuff. The random fun stuff might be a skein of my handspun yarn(*), a pair of earrings I've made, a paperback I read and loved and want to share, a batch of cookies(**), amigurumi, or whatever else appeals to my sense of whimsy.

Bidding starts at $15

All auctions end on Nov 7, at midnight US Eastern time. For the stitch markers, I will cover shipping to anywhere in the world (that the USPS delivers to). For the random box of fun, I will cover shipping within the US. For bidders outside the US, I would ask you to cover the difference in shipping between domestic rates and shipping to your country.


* -- the winner of the auction can specify broad parameters, like "I am not a crafter so yarn is wasted on me" or "I hate science fiction."
** -- if I send food, I will check with the winner for allergies before shipping

Stitch markers are like jewelry for your knitting!

I am offering this set of 4:



These are pink shell and turquoise beads, mounted on silver plated head pins, and attached to 6mm outsider diameter sterling silver rings. The jumprings are soldered closed, and the ends of the head pins were carefully tucked in to provide snag-free knitting. Set of four, with one oval focal bead to mark the start of a round. They will fit comfortably on needles up to US size 6.

It is likely that I will be designing and making more stitch markers soon enough to auction more, but I've learned not to overcommit, and will only be posting items that are already made and ready to ship. I will ship anywhere in the world (that the USPS delivers to).

Bidding starts at $5 and ends on Oct 31.
