New Store Coming Along

I've been keeping myself very busy working on items for my new store. I am hoping that I will be able to open it up the weekend of Memorial Day!

Some of the new items I am working on are stitch markers. I have seen a lot of knitting stitch markers floating around Etsy, but very few for crochet. I guess this is just another example of knitting bias. In any case, I have been feverishly working on some very retro crochet stitch markers. I think I'll keep those under wraps for a little while longer, but to get a feel for my crochet markers here are some I whipped up last night:

They feature five crochet abbreviations: CH (chain), SC (single crochet), DC (double crochet), HDC (half double crochet, which for some reason always reminds me of double secret probation), and TR (treble).

Here is how one fits in a crochet stitch:

Nothing fancy, but they really do the trick!

Very nice. I've been thinking of working on some myself, but with semiprecious gemstone chips and pearls ... what is it with me and the pearls? Almost every necklace I've made has had at least *some* pearls. :)
