This is what Anita had to say:
I am a graphic artist by day and a crafter by night.
I love to knit and crochet.
I love all the books, patterns, and gadgets that go along with it! Like most knitters and crocheters I have quite a stash of all things related to the crafts.
I started making clay stitch markers to use and amuse myself.
Then I started sharing them with friends, one thing led to another.... and here I am with a little store on etsy!
I specialize in cute, whimsical, polymer clay stitch markers. They were featured in the Winter 2007/2008 issue of Knit Simple magazine. However, I also dabble in beaded stitch markers and other little knit-knacks.
Hugs, Anita
You are viewing one set of 4 silly LOBSTERS knitting or crochet stitch markers.
I personally made these by hand, with no molds.
These stitch markers are made from polymer clay, baked for hardness & durability with a glaze applied.
A one of a kind item, they look similar but no two are exactly alike!
The lobsters are approx. 3/4" tall. This set fits up to a size 10 US knitting needle (6.5 mm).
They come hooked on a 2 inch kilt pin which can be used as a stitch holder!
Attach them to your knitting bag so you always have them available, or use as a cute decoration to any item. They would make a great gift for a knitter you know! The pictures just don't do them justice, even cuter in person!

Oh, her peas in a pod are adorable. But living practically on Cape Cod, I have to admit I am particularly partial to the "lobstahs"!
I visited her blog. All of her markers are adorable. I love the peas, the easter birds and ,well, I guess I liked the penquins best,no, maybe I just like them all.
Very cute little buggy eyes.
Don't enter me in the contest, but thanks for promoting 'Nita's adorable markers!
OH MY I LOVE the sweet peas and the flip flops ...it would be tough to choose just one, your work is awesome. Thanks for the contest and a link to your cool Etsy site.
OMG those sweet peas are ADORABLE!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win those cute lil'lobsters!
Wow, I loved all of the things I saw, but I have to say that my favorite would have to be the chocolates.LOL Very cute!
I left a blog about the give-away on my blog

I did post about your contest on my blog but when I bring up my blog today there are no posts showing just my sidebar...so I hope you can see it on your end...and others so they can say I sent you....Have a great day
adorable! i havehad anitas etsy bookmarked for awhile now. Her peas are so cute but i really like the humor in the sheep orifice hook!
Thanks for the nice post Darcy! :) I wish I had more listed in the shop.... anyone interested in others can look in my Sold section in the store.
I'm excited to see who wins. Woohoo
they are all very cute.. I love the hearts and the chocolate the best♥
Since I love Chocolate I vote for those but the peas in a pod are sooooo cute.
She does do great work! I'm rather taken with the frogs that are listed on her sold page. Actually the chickens were cute too. But when I saw the hot chilis, I thought those did it for me.
The penguins are so dorky. I love them!
Fantastic shop! I am loving the set of 4 sheep stitch markers - adorable! Great idea to make one black as well - the "black sheep" in the family to keep track of the beginning of a row :)

Love the sheep stitch markers!
I love the sheep stitch markers but I think I might like the lobsters even better!
I came from wiknit.
The stitch markers are so cute!! The sheep are darling but the chocolate hearts and easter eggs are especially calling to me. :)
LOBSTERS!!! OMG - I must have these!
I loved Erica's silly little sheep painted on the orifice hook. Thanks for a great contest!
First, I wanted to say that I linked here from Cheap Knitter's blog.
Secondly, I have to say, goodness those stitch markers are sooo cute! How could a person pick a favorite...I saw so many cute ones...the sheep, the peas, the bird/nests.... I could go on and on! I've already bookmarked yarn demon as a favorite so that I can go back and buy some!
The flamingo spinning accessory is so cute! (My email address is on my profile)
Baa Baa Black Sheep, have you any wool...I love the sheep set!
Okay, maybe it's just me and my love of strange animals, but I have to say I looove the silk worms... I hope they're still there tomorrow! (i.e. after payday)
Those lobsters are really cute! But I just love the silkworms too! What a great site!
The Easter egg chicks were just darling! Though truth be told all of them were very cute!
love those silk worms! Thanks for offering some up.
The lobsters are jsut too cute - to be perfect they would need to be crabs! I cant pick out which ones I liked best cause I loved all of them!
Those lobsters are just wonderful though I do agree that crabs would make some fun stitch markers too! Wiknit sent me here by the way...
The sheep are the cutest stich markers I've ever seen. I just love them. Beankendall on rav
That pink flamingo orifice hook is the cutest!
Wow, Anita is such a talent artist. I love the hearts with crystals. And her needles are wonderful too. I would be so nice to win these lobsters.
I love the sheep stitch markers! The lady bug ones are adorable, too; my daughter calls my granddaughter "ladybug".
P.S. Turtle sent me.
I LOVE Anita's stitch markers! The lobstah's are my favorites, but I enjoy the black sheep, too!
