Auto Focus Does Have It's Drawbacks

So I got out my camera to take pictures of all the work I did yesterday, yet my auto focus camera doesn't get taking pictures of small objects.

I bet you're dying (not dyeing... tho' you might be, and if you are, good for you, I love hand dyed yarns) to know what I worked on yesterday.

I made my first set of wire wrapped stitch markers. I made quite a few, actually:

If the pictures were at all clear, you can see how quickly I progressed. My first attempts, while useable aren't as "clean" as my later attempts. I still have lots of room for improvement. I will also say that this could become very addictive. Beads are fun to shop for. Plus they're cheaper than yarn.

Making my own is a definite advantage. I much prefer the wire wrapped style (rather than a split ring or other style. I always get those caught in my knitting) and I'm picky about how they fit my needles (big enough to slid easily on my needles, yet not too large to be cumbersome). Plus I get to buy beads. Let's be honest: I knit so I can buy yarn. I mean come on, hobbies are all about buying stuff.

So a fun new (and potentially addictive) new hobby!

Meanwhile, the Shoalwater has a few more rows done. (I might add that my current, unblocked cross measurement is 60"... so I might only need that 4.5 repeats after all!)
