I'm going to have to try to make some this way. I like the look of them. I usually make mine with the lever back earing findings. I can use them as earings or stitch markers. The neat thing about the lever back findings is that they are removable if you knit them in.
For knitting I saw where you can use jump rings and attach any doo-dad to it that you like. As long as there isn't anything that will get caught in the yarn. I have used the little rings the most of course in knitting. In crochet the locking stich marker works better for me so then I would have to make one with a clasp i forgot what they call it! lol
It's a wonderful idea. Thank you for sharing. I usually use a piece of yarn or markers from a shop but they are not very convenient (they are quite big and always come out). And sometimes I use simple safety pins or special safety pins for wool (made of plastic).
More work that I want to do, lol! I normally just cut a piece of yarn and knot it into a circle, if I don't have my box of plastic stitch markers handy.
