Project: Mock Cables 真淑女
Pattern: High-Low Peplum Pullover by Sandy Cushman, Interweave Knits, Spring 2001
Yarn: Karabella Majestic
Yardage: 1240 yards in stash
Needles: Size 7
Cast on: January 26, 2012
Notes: This is coming along nicely. The pattern makes you do bobbles in the middle of those diamonds in the center front and back, but I'm not a bobble kind of knitter. Will be looking for interesting things to fill the diamonds.

Question: I have a stash of costume jewelry that I don't wear any more, and I want to take them apart and make some stitch markers. If you have made stitch markers, can you tell me what basic tools I need to start? I have seem jewelry pliers at Michael's, and we have a small wire cutter. I need jump rings, and some sort of wires, right?

That is going to be GORGEOUS! I love the cables or mock cables.
I've never made stitch markers so I'm curious about what responses you get too.
You always make the prettiest sweaters! I love the pattern in particular, I wonder what would look good in those diamonds? hmmmm.
As for the stitch markers, I've made pretty nice sets with just thin wire and pliers. There have to be some detailed tutorials out on the web too.
I agree with you on the bobbles... blech.
I love watching dogs stretch... it feels soo good. :-)
That's going to be a great sweater - and I'd skip the bobbles too, and go directly to beads. :)
Happy Friday to you and Rascal!
Beautiful sweater - will you be wearing it at our meet up on March 20th? Would love to see it in person!
You move pretty quick there girlie! I'm a bit stalled after Stitches. Need to get back on the finish-up horsey.
Head pins and jump rings are all you need. http://www.eebeads.com/_headpins.htm Make sure the bead opening isn't too large or the bead will slip off the head pin. You can always use small seed beads at the bottom of the head pin to help keep larger beads on. I used to have a picture tutorial on my old blog, but I never captured the post and now that blog is no more.
What a pretty project! The color will look great on you, too.
Bobbles just seem wrong on sweaters, in my opinion ;-)
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
Pretty sweater, can't wait to see the stitch markers!
It's really a beautiful sweater.
