Keeper of the Progress Markers

I don't usually use progress markers. I love them, think they're cute, but most times I just don't use them.

A lot of the stitch marker sets I get come with a progress marker. So, I had 6 or 7 of them in bags. Not being used. Then Carrie, of the Creative Obsession Podcast had an episode where she shared a gift she made that was specifically for progress markers. She used a metal sock blocker, single crocheted around it, wrapped some yarn around that, and hung progress markers from it. Perfect!

Instead of using sock blockers, I bought an embroidery hoop and yarn from Red Heart. I singled crocheted around, wrapped some yarn around that, and made a tassel. Then I added my progress markers and the lsg4life key chain. It took around an hour to make, and I am pretty darn pleased with it. Today I even added another progress marker that I found with a skein of sock yarn.
