Stitch Marker Necklace Reviewed

Have you ever run across jewelry that was just sooo pretty you had have it? Even if you really never wear a lot of necklaces, this Stitch Marker Necklace is a must for you or all the knitters on your gift list (she also makes matching earrings as well as shawl pins, sticks bag rings, belt buckles, zipper pulls, and various sizes of buttons).

Shown is the “Twig” design. Annie Adams has desiged this line. Easily worn just for the asthetics itself, the “dangles” on this necklace are actually a set of 7 stitch markers. The black beads on the charms add an elegant touch, almost a “study” in black and silver. Beautiful on it’s own, no other colors are needed.

The chain is a sterling silver and comes 30″ long. The clasp that holds the stitch markers on the necklace is easy to maneuver, yet it appears that it is heavy enough to not come undone by itself. The necklace itself , also of sterling silver is rather heavy, like a pendant.

I wouldn’t put this jewelry in the “dainty” category, but I personally like the sturdiness of this set (I’m a bit clumsy, and while I wouldn’t wear it out to feed the cows, I like knowing that if I forgot to take it off at night, it would still be intact in the morning.)

Take a look at the closeups below, then go to Annie’s Site to order your own.

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
