So today I took a slight digression into the realm of beaded stitch markers.
I procured my marker-making supplies in a post work A.C. Moore run and set to work as soon as I arrived home. Behold the finished products:

The markers are lovely (you MADE those?!), and I love the yarn you're using for your sweater - it's gorgeous. Keep knitting, you're doing great!
