I love the stitch marker! How perfect, now how can I get some Little Sir stitch markers?! In re: the pooling, I don't think it's so bad...but I am loathe to rip a sock.

Oh, such awesome stitch markers!!
I also think the pooling grapefruit looks good, maybe because the colors are in the same family. I'm interested to see how it comes out!

I actually love the way your grapefruit socks are knitting up, so if you hate them, you can send them to me.

And the stitch marker magic is probably shrinky dinks. You print a photo on the special plastic, cut the shape you want, punch a hole, and bake. Do a google for shrinky dinks and you'll find it.

that race to the end of a skein is always a nailbiter!

what cool stitch markers. when i first glanced at the picture i thought they were soda can pop tops! those would be cool stitch markers (too bulky as is, but with a little jump ring . . .)

I agree with all the comments on the stitch markers... but there is a conspicuous lack of comments regarding what appears to be Southern Comfort and Jack Daniels coffee. Where could I find such a thing???

Those stitch markers are very adorable. What a sweet idea.

That is a great idea for stitch markers. Two spoilers? Too bad they caught on.
