KNITwords Lanyard

Description

A sport weight lanyard in 3 sizes with the words KNIT and PURL.

I had this idea to keep track of stitch markers and small scissors the same way you keep track of your keys. Put them on a long string. Hopefully, you can throw this lanyard into your project bag and put it on while you attend knitting group, or are sitting on the couch at home, or perhaps in your rocker recliner? It’ll hold all the little things you might need in a pinch. The lanyard is designed for three sizes – one for your wrist, one short necklace, and one long necklace. Choose your favorite or make all three! Make them for every purse and project bag you own. Make one to gift to a friend, along with some cute stitch markers or tiny scissors too!
