STITCH MARKERS

When I first opened my shop on Etsy I was selling jewellery. I absolutely adore beads and I enjoy making beautiful beaded items. But my first passion was knitting and crocheting and over time I have gradually introduced more and more knitted and crocheted items into my shop until there is no more beaded jewellery. So I had to think of a way that I could combine both passions. I had always made my own stitch markers, although not quite so glamerous as those shown above. One day when I was playing around with my beads I put together some stitch markers which I thought were nice enough to sell in my shop and so now I get to satisfy both my passions. I have several friends who love knitting and I like to put together gift bags for them at Christmas and birthdays. I watch out for lovely knitting needles and yarn and now I always include a set of stitch markers. If you would like to give stitch markers to a knitty friend, you can find a selection in my Etsy shop.

WEEKEND OFFER

This week I have reduced the price of all the scarves in my shop (http://lizzyt.etsy.com/). If you purchase one of these scarves you will also receive a free coin holder keyring - shown in a previous post.

This one is a favourite of mine. I bought the yarn for it in a gorgeous wool shop I found in Penzance when I was on holiday in Cornwall last year. We are going there again this year and I am looking forward to visiting this shop again.

This blue one is another fabulous scarf. It is so soft. I love the colour and it has little bobbles of pastel yellow and pink worked into it. I made a purple one for my shop as well, but my young daughter decided it would look better on her.
