"ball of yarn" beads

Just wanted to let everyone know that the "ball of yarn" earrings I wrote about last week have been a real hit, so I've made a bunch more "balls of yarn" for earrings, or whatever people want:

Georgia,

Colored toothpicks might be really cute, and with both ends pointed 1 pick might make both needles seeing how small those earrings are next to that penny.

If they hang funny on an ear, they could always be made a little larger and worn as a pendant or a lapel pin, like the sock knitters sometimes make a lapel sock or machine knitters make a tiny sweater pin to wear to ID themselves to others at meetings.

I have sold quite a few lapel pins of that design (but made with real yarn). Never thought of earrings, but...thanks for the ideas!

Georgia

These would also make great stitch markers. I make earrings (for pierced ears) with lever backs. When I need to mark someplace I now use my earrings.
