Beaded yarn cutter chain & first try at stitch marker!!

[Frangipani]

I decided to make a beaded chain for my yarn cutter so I could keep it handy and also had a go at a beaded stitch marker. I know now that I need to not bead both sides so I can pull the darn thing out..oops!! You live you learn. Next time will be better. What do you all do with your yarn cutters to keep them handy? ~Bec~

Beautiful beads! Great idea for your yarn cutter.

I too am learning how to make stitch markers. )

Pretty!

No cutters here, just small scissors.

I thought I'd make a beaded necklace type chain for my yarn cutter. Going to the other base where our craft shop is tomorrow so I'll check the beads out then and see what I can come up with. So far though, I've just admired my cutter *g* though I did test it out as soon as I opened it, boy it cuts through yarn like a hot knife through butter hehehe I just always have scissors handy at my desk or the couch so haven't really used it yet. (It'll come in quite handy on my trips though! Hence the need for a necklace or something =) )

Very good Idea. It's just too small to fit around my wrist and I think keeping it there would probbly get annoying. Maybe I'll redo it into a necklace.

I beaded mine too. I also did one for my needle holder so I could find it when I was searching for it. I put necklace closures on the needle holder and thread cutter so I could attach it to my hook case. I also attach the thread cutter to the skein of thread I am working with so it is handy. Very helpful and pretty too!

Those are great Heather. Mine fits in the new case I just made but I'd also like to secure it just in case!
