Which-Crafts?

One of the interesting side bits to running Seasons of Lace is that I am getting to see a new array of knitting tools used by lace knitters. I had been peripherally aware that people were making fancy stitch markers, but a bunch of our sponsors and prize donors make them, and I have been perusing their sites.

Now some of you may know that I used to bead, a few of you may remember that I used to work at a bead store, and I suspect that many of you may know that I am hoarder of craft supplies. How does this all work together?

I have a huge supply of beads that I haven’t used in a long long while. So last week, I opened my bead box and rummaged around a bit. Dug out some small bits that were left-overs from other projects, and started playing.  I suspect that I’ll show of a few more not too far in the future. This is a pretty, fun and useful way to use up beads that were sadly without purpose.
