Pass it Forward.....

It's a simple concept but one not a lot of people do. 

Imagine if everyone did one good deed per day,  in other words, passed it forward.

It doesn't have to be a big thing or an expensive thing, it just has to be something.

I try to do a little good deed as often as I can.  Whether it be not charging a 200% mark up on wool I sell or picking up some rubbish off the street when I am out walking.  Every little thing makes the world a better place to live in.

I was going to spout how I did something pretty awesome recently but I think I'll just leave it as is.

Do something nice for someone every day and your life will be enriched beyond belief.

Stitch Markers..

I remember 6 years ago, going to the Australian Sheep and Wool Show and not being able to find many stitch markers at all.  In fact, I only found one stall selling them and they were about $16 for 4 and they were made in America!!

Well off home I went, horrified and started making my own.  As these enterprises usually go, I made some to sell too and have since supplied my own spinning meeting and many others with them.  I started using clasps and now everyone has jumped on the idea....so much for not stealing others ideas, there's not much honour out there it seems.

I had a few people asking for dainty markers for using while knitting lace so I have endeavoured to fill that gap.  I've been using non magnetic hematite for years now.  It's awesome stuff, always cool to touch.  So anyway, I have some small magnetic Hematite beads and have made some cute markers out of them.

 I am hoping that when they are put in your knitting case they will clump together and attract the other markers so you can just pull out a clump instead of fossicking around looking for the ones you want.

 I am also making some standard semi-precious stone markers for Lace working.  These are the first lot and I have some lovely Lilac Jasper beads as well.

Needless to say, all my stitch markers are hand made by myself.  I also use them so I know how good they are.  If you're interested in buying some they are here at OZ HANDMADE under Woolz'N'yarnZ.
