Bird stitch marker, progress keeper set featuring flying birds in 3 colours. Set of 3 metal and enamel charms perfect for knit/crochet

Description

I’m always on the lookout for cute, fun enamel charms to make into stitch markers / progress keepers, and as a keen twitcher, I’m always attracted to birds. I’m not entirely sure what type of these flying beauties are intended to be, but they look like maybe they’re budgies or parakeets – they certainly remind my of those 60s style wall murals when you arrange them in a diagonal line!

The charms themselves are 18mm by 19mm and are lightweight, despite being made of metal. They come in the set of 3 different colours that you see here and each one will have a split ring and a lobster clasp attached so that you can use them as stitch markers or progress keepers. One thing I’ve found since I started collecting stitch markers is that I like to be able to use them as both things and that I sometimes want to slip them onto larger needles, so I’ve used a slightly larger than usual split ring that you can slip onto a needle as large as 6mm easily. Because it’s a split ring, you can easily remove the lobster clasp and put it back on whenever you like, if you like. The lobster clasp easily slips onto a 4mm needle too – I think of it as Transformers for knitting!
