Life as a Stitcher: beads for the first time

Knitting and crochet accessories doesn't come here often, and sometimes I find myself drooling and frustrated over the internet whenever I got the chance to see some of it like stitch marker, holders and cable needles.

When I saw a video on DIY stitch marker and row counters, I was inspired and decided to learn how to do some beadings. So when I was in Manila, I bought several beads, eye hook, jump rings, toggle and lock, round and flat pliers for creating loops.

I kinda get the hang of doing the loops, but still need more practice, I'm enjoying this new hobby of mine, doing stitch markers... Now if I could just find a store/stores that carries beads for such purpose.....

Here are the results of my first try on DIY stitch markers

And of course I'm still wishing I can get hold of Knitpicks lace yarn sampler. I want to get my hands on the riverstone shades (neutrals shades of cream and brown). I'm such a fan on neutral colors, don't ask me why cause I too am curious
