ERASABLE Stitch Markers and Sets - Preview!

Erasable backside, "Accio Hook" on the font!
THE OFFICIAL GIMPY HOOKER SHOP LAUNCHES ON ETSY NEXT WEEK!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - these are so fun to make!

In our new Gimpy Hooker Shop on Etsy, there will be a line of custom themed and beaded stitch markers for both crochet and (gasp!) knitting. The clasps are big enough, so work for both.

Using household stuff, you can record hook size, row, pattern name, whatever will fit - and then wipe it clean over and over! Guaranteed to work or money back! SO EXCITED! Did I mention I'm excited????  Here are a few samples of what's coming...
