aka - It’s Bad When One Craft Enables Another. :chair:
I started beading before knitting seriously, and and now I’ve come full circle. What will I start making jewelry for next?? 
Below are just 3 out of many stitchmarker sets I’ve made (I’ve now lost count - not a good thing.) You can see a few more examples at my Flickr page:

note to self: [I]must … stop … making … these - taking … up … knitting … time[/I]
Do you sell these? They’re BEAUTIFUL!!
I’m a beader too, and they’re addicting, aren’t they? :rofling: I have about 30 or 40 sets now and I only knit one or two projects at a time. :rollseyes: For me, it’s the immediate gratification - I can whip up a set of stitch markers pretty quickly whereas a knitting project takes me forever. And now I can match my stitch markers to every color, style, and size of project.
It’s a sickness really… :teehee:

WOW
Those are awesome! You are truly tallented. If I tried I’d end up pinching my fingers or something. You ought to sell those! You could list them in the Buy/Swap/Sell section!
Those are beautiful!
[SIZE=1](I’ve been wanting to try them, but I’m not sure where to get the half-toggles since I prefer that type.):teehee:[/SIZE]
They are addicting aren’t they? I have a bunch that I’ve made too. :teehee:
Yours are beautiful!
Y’all are all too sweet! Thanks for the props - sometimes you make something, and just don’t have that objective eye (“really, is that good??” :shrug:). I didn’t think about selling them, but you know what? It could help finance my yarn addiction :roflhard: .
Jan, et al - I’m not sure I want to enable somebody else, but they are super easy to make. I like the toggles best - non-snag (very picky ‘bout that), I get a package of them and just use the ring part. No clue on what to do w/the bars - altho’ I think I saw someone suggest using them for row markers (hunh?). I’ve gotten the toggle packages f/AC Moore, Michael’s, and Walmart. AC Moore has silver- and gold-plated ones. Online you can find a slew of vendors. And looking around, there’s literally at least 10 different ways to make the part that goes on the needles.
Wow! Glad to see I’m not the only addict here! I couldn’t help but laugh when I read that you match your stitchmarkers to your project, but then I went 
hmmm … Lordee

Thanks, I’ll check the Michaels near me first. 
cool!
Hey, if you want to sell them, you could get a [B]ton [/B]of customers in the ‘Buy/Sell/Swap’ Forum. I would buy them.
Me too, they are gorgeous, I’d buy them I don’t have any pretty stitch markers, I’ve only got bits of yarn or those plastic split rings.
LOVE the stitch markers. You could certainly sell them. I also make them but after seeing yours, I want to buy yours. :roflhard: Now you tell me, WHO is the crazier addict ??? :roflhard:
Oh how pretty! I make my own too. I love that it’s so easy to make such pretty things in a very short amount of time. It’s like instant gratification 
Those are really pretty. I tried to make my own once. We don’t talk about that around here. lol Yours are niiiiice.
I love making stitchmarkers! I even sell them at my SnB group I use Tigers Tail and a Cabbot for the loop, and it sails with the work really nicely… I’ll have to post a pic of the ones I sold last week… My best to date, I think The loop is big enough to go around a size 17 (12mm) needle, but even on a size 7 needle they don’t stick out.
Ooo, those are pretty MissTiaLouise!
Thank you very much… They were made special order for a friend doing a secret swap
yours are quite pretty
I love making mine, and I also sell mine at knitting group, i even take special orders from people
I love making them for someone special (like our own Knitting Guy)
I have considered selling some on E-bay, but I never get any reasonable prices on there with all the bargain hunters
they are SOOO much fun to make
and I try hard not to make the same set twice
ecb
those are exactly how i make my stitch markers!!
beautiful!
I was wondering if you made the rings as well - this gives me hope that I could make my own lol.
In fact, I think I have some copper toggles around here somewhere… hmm…
