the little red footlet has suffered many froggings, but this version is for keeps. all it needs is a mate, who would like to be born before the end of socktober.
rigid stitchmarkers--plastic or metal rings--and i don't seem to get along. they slip surreptitiously off needles and require scrunching to maintain tension. i usually end up abandoning them for knotted pieces of scrap yarn, which are less than ideal...
so i made some stitchmarkers with elastic beading cord (the clear, rubberband-y stuff), crimping beads, and teardrop glass beads. i love them so! they are rigid enough to hold shape for easy transfer yet pliable enough to hug stitches. the rubbery texture also reduces mysterious disappearances into the folds of my comforter. my needles feel fancy.
