Fast forward to today after mallwalk----went to Walmart to get round needlenose pliers & then Hobby Lobby for more beads/ accessories.
The total stands at 2 sets (6 ea) of beaded stitch markers, 6 prs of earrings & I'm going to get more levered backs for earrings tomorrow!
The blue earrings are for the gals who were on the Executive Board w/me this past year.
These are the pink stitch markers I made for MIL for her b-day
The blue markers (yes, they are identical to the earrings) I haven't decided what to do with yet. I may keep them for myself or save them for the next knitting exchange I have.
My exchange bag is coming along nicely--I've decided I will make one for myself this fall in cream & brown. Will post pics of that soon!

Great looking stitch markers! I've been wanting to make some for myself and have started gathering the supplies. Can I ask what you used for the rings? Are they closed rings and do they come in different sizes for various sized knitting needles?

Hi Renee!
Thank you! These are my first attempt & I'm actually happy w/ the way they came out!
I used jump rings--they're closed w/ a small slit between the 2 ends. They'll fit up to a size 11 (US) needle.
I haven't tried looking for larger rings but I'm sure they exist--or you could make them yourself from head pins.
Your markers are great! I use those jump rings alone as markers because I have been too lazy to add anything pretty to mine :)
