Knitting Jewelry

So, I was making a stranded Skull skullie, and needless to say, I screwed up and had to frog the whole thing, and I was half-way done the stinkin' pattern. I couldn't immediately cast back on w/out suitable stitch markers. Now I have the Lion Brand ones, and of course scrappies of yarn, but I needed some time and something pretty to soothe the ache from my knitterly mistake. I had this bead assortment, from a failed project a loooong time ago, an decided a trip to Michales might be in order. Long story short, a few headpins, some jump rings, 5.00 tool set(gotta luv those 50% coupons), and I'm now the proud owner of 10 self made stich markers.. and ready to try again!!!

Ohhh.. my. I've been a bad bad blogger. So, besides our historic election, and our disintergrating economy.. not to much is going on!

WIP - A fair-isle vest (just a swath across the bottom)

sooo, this lil' guy was sleeping for a looong time, as I got into my school work and too busy for all things crafty except collecting the needed accents. Was supposed to be Mom's B-day present, then I just couldn't make any more excuses. Next time, I'll save the lining for last, that way I can really hide all threads the way I want, now I just need pics, and its buh-byes to this very cute bag!
