Beaded Knitting Placeholders

My mom got this really cute beaded knitting placeholder as a gift from a dear friend.

I thought it was such a great idea that I decided to make a bunch of them - one for each woman in my Tuesday morning knitting group.  Here are the supplies I used:

Beads

Crimp Beads

Beading Wire

I measured and cut 5 inches of the beading wire.

Bend the wire in half.

String a crimp bead on the end and push toward the loop end.

String on a small accent bead.

String on the big bead and another small accent bead.

String on another crimp bead.

Squeeze the crimp bead closed on both ends - make it snug to the beads.

Here's the finished product.

These were so easy to make.  I can't wait to share them with my knitting friends tomorrow. 

"I want to thank anyone who spends a part of their day creating, I don't care if it's a book, a film, a painting, a dance, a piece of theater, a piece of music - anybody who spends part of their day sharing their experience with us - I think this world would be unlivable without art and I thank you."  - Steven Soderbergher
