A couple of weekends ago I went on a fairisle knitting workshop and stitch markers were on the list - as usual I was last minute rush and didn't get any but went merrily along without them. I must admit that I thought I could manage pretty well but I didn't and made things harder for myself so now I have been and bought some ready and waiting. I am sure that you pretty pillow will come through Annette. Have a lovely Monday, not sure if it is Bank Holiday for you as it is here in the UK - whatever, have a gorgeous day.
