Joyful Stitch Markers from Allstitch Studio

The first time I laid my eyes on Stitch Markers by Allstitch Studio, i knew that I had found all I ever wanted on my needles! They are so colorful and so durable. Their newest marker is a removable heart shape marker that works for both crocheting and knitting enthusiasts!

I always keep the multi-pack on my knit-side table!

Stunning Stud Buttons from JUL

I have been a huge fan of JUL designs for shawl and sweater enclosures for years and am completely in love with their newest Art Nouveau Stud Buttons!
