I am participating in a EtsyFAST promo swap. The idea being that I make and send 50 promotional items and business cards to the organizer, and get 50 promotional items and business cards from the other participants, which I can include in my outgoing orders to help promote their shops, and of course, they'll be promoting mine. So I had to come up with something I could make a lot of, in a relatively short amount of time.


Here we have 25 sets of stitch markers, in varying sizes and styles.


4 bracelets, knit with some of my handspun yarn


And 21 crocheted flower pins, also made from my handspun and/or hand-dyed yarn.

Only now I feel like the stitch markers may be too limiting, since they are not useful for those who crochet...so maybe I should just do more flowers? I really have to mail them by Friday at the latest, if they are going to get to their destination on time. What do you think I should do?

The stitch markers are great. People who get them can use them for customers they know knit, so it's not an issue, really. So don't worry about it :)

I love them.

I'm just doing samples of my hand dyed and spun looped through my card, so you kinda rock :)

Thanks for your input, and compliments. They are both appreciated.

I really had fun using up my leftover bits of yarn to make the flowers. I may start including them as a free gift with my orders.

Maybe I'll have you teach me how to make them, they look cute, and would make a great scarf all hooked together.

Would be happy to show you. They are easy, and quick! My favorite type of project.

You could put the stitch markers on safety pins...possibly separating them with beads (pony beads, etc.). I'm thinking along the lines of the friendship pins that were common when we were kids. That way, a non-knitter who receives a set can just wear it as a brooch.
