DIY Stitch Marker Event

Stitch markers and an essential too for all knitters and crocheters. They help us keep track of where we are in a pattern, special stitch sections of a pattern, stitch counts and more. Making your own stitch markers is another way to show your personality while you work on your favorite project. Join me and my friend Katelyn as she shows us TWELVE different ways to make a DIY stitch marker.

Stitch markers are fun to collect and fun to make. Over the next 12 weekdays Katelyn will show you a different way to make stitch markers. From simple to more complicated you will find beautiful ways to make stitch markers and new techniques of crafts along the way.

Each day Katelyn and I will be going live on the Marly Bird Facebook page for a live demo and chat. The lives will take place at noon eastern (unless stated below) on each of the event days. We will show you samples of the technique along with a short tutorial of how to make them for yourself.

After each live the video will come here on the website so that you can watch them whenever you want. You will also find lists of supplies that you need to make the project for yourself!
