I don’t know if there are any knitters or crocheters out there reading this, but if there are, I have a couple of questions for you.

I’m looking for some items to make with my polymer clay, that are not too time consuming.  While it is not by any means a new idea, it is new to me, so I thought maybe, stitch markers.

I knit myself, although it has been a while since I made something that required a stitch marker.  But I have several sizes of needles I could gauge the ring size off of.  My question to you knitters/crocheters reading this would be, what types of charms would you (or a knitter you know) be interested in?  Food, like a fruit theme, a veggie theme, or fast food theme?  How about animals?  A farm animal theme, cats, dogs or birds?  Holiday themes?

And my last question would be - how many would you need or use for a project?  If you were to buy a set, how many would you want to see in a set?  Four? Five?  I’ve looked around and a common number seems to be four, but I am interested in knowing if this is a good number or if you would want more than that.

Now, the giveaway part!  Yay!

To make this interesting and generate responses, I’ll take all the comments of people who offer input, and do a drawing.  The person who wins, will get a set (whatever number is deemed most common by all who comment) of stitch markers.  You don’t have to knit to win, of course; you could perhaps use it as a gift for someone who does!

I’ll use a number generator to pick the winner.

End date for commenting will be January 21 (that’s a Friday), and I’ll draw a winner over that weekend.  Incidentally that is the weekend of my daughter’s 5th birthday party, so if I don’t post a winner by that Saturday (which is the day of the party), then I’ll have something posted by that Sunday (January 23).  I’ll make a new post noting who the winner is, and you’ll need to use my contact form to send me your mailing information, and specific theme you’re interested in me attempting to create.  I’ll most likely need about two weeks to complete the creation before I can ship it out, so keep this in mind please.

Good luck, and thanks everyone for any input provided!
