[Nfb-krafters-korner] different kinds of stitch markers

[blindhands at aol.com]

Get yourself a bag of elastic bands [some call them rubber bands around here], but for $1 you can tie them together, make just a not and create whatever you need for a marker.  My husband bought me I think a 1 or 2 pound bag of elastic bands quite a while ago after I went blind.  I still have that bag and keep it handy.  I jused used some today labeling my spools of color thread and putting a Pen Friend label with them on the spool.  You can get them at the grocery store, and every where else.

Subject: [Nfb-krafters-korner] different kinds of stitch markers

Hi,

Since I’m now working on a fisherman’s sweater, and it has like 8 pattern rows, with several that only need 5 or 6 rows (I just know I’m not being clear in my explanation, but don’t know how else to put it), I’m trying to think of an easy way to track what rows have already been done. I have several different-sized markers (the closed ones), and various sizes of safety pins and one size of bead for the pins—but wondered, are there enough varied sizes/kinds of markers so I could put a different one on the beginning of each pattern row? Budget won’t allow for spending this month, but am thinking of the future, if I ever repeat this pattern, or do something with similar requirements. It would be neat, too, if I could find markers with different textures—I already have a slight start on that: some of mine are thinner or smaller in diameter than others, but I’m thinking of expanding on that idea, if such exist. Thanks!



Sandra
