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!!!
