My new hobby, I might even say passion is making stitch markers. I know loads of knitters like to make stitch markers, and who could blame them! They're small, beautiful and useful, great for using them yourself or giving them as small presents to knitting friends. That's what I've been doing up until now. Now I thought, I might try selling a few.

Here it is. Finally! I bought the yarn for it in March, and finally I have started knitting my Owls sweater.

Due to my loose hand and Marks&Kattens Eco Ull yarn (lovely organic 100% wool) I'm knitting on 5mm needles instead of 6,5. I'm still working the L size, hoping that my gauge will match the one given! If not I'll need to lose a few pounds!

I just watched this great animation called "Breakfast" by Kris(tina) Hofmann, a UK designer. It's about losing the connection with the food we eat, and made really well! Please watch it at Vimeo, it's only three minutes long bu really powerful!

I've had these ready for a good while now, and finally I get to blogging about them!

The first knit is the Puro-tube. The original pattern is from Novita, but I modified it like SatuH did, meaning I didn't double the yarn and cast on 110 stitches. It was knit during a week of illness in bed, with 5mm circular needles. I used a bit less that three balls of Novita Puro (what a lovely yarn!), that is ca. 130 grams.
