I’m one of those people who – no matter how many compliments received – are rarely confident about their own work. When I was scouting for ideas on what to make for the aforementioned Owl Swap I had toyed with the idea of making stitch markers for my partner as she’s also a knitter (Annie if you’re reading this, look away!) so I got some supplies and had a shot. I’d bought enough to make ten stitch markers and so I donated a set of four to the Crafteroo Folksy shop for Comic Relief and they sold! Three and a half hours after being listed, they sold for £6.75 and I’m so shocked. Not only that but I subsequently had complaints from my friends that I hadn’t told them about the stitch markers because they’d have bought them!
Needless to say I’m absolutely thrilled to have made a contribution to the Crafteroo efforts and I’m a little proud that people think enough of my work to be grouchy at me for not telling them about it! These were the stitch markers I made. What do you think?

Brilliant news. Make some more to sell to your friends!
well done you!, they sold because they are really sweet and are useful, have confidence in your work : )
have you thought about posting a tutorial for making stitch markers? you could tie it in with the self sufficiency side of things by using every day materials. ‘green’ crafting is a big thing at the moment with lots of people pledging not to buy materials this year and to use what they have at home.
just and idea : )
they are really cute! I’m not surprised they sold.
looks like you had better get making some more
