Meditation Markers

I love knitting, I picked it up over thirty years ago and it is an enduring love, but this is not about that.  A few years ago I decided to lean to knit lace patterns, things with holes, but holes in the right places. It took a bit of practice but I'm okay at it now. But as well as learning to put holes in the right place I also learned another skill, as sometimes these patterns have an edging and you need to mark the start of the border to ensure it all lines up. Or there might be a critical point at which there is shaping and that exact stitch needs to be marked.  So I learned the skill of using stitch markers.
