Let’s settle this once and for all: the chicken came first—and then she brought the egg, and they BOTH showed up in my newest set of super-cute, totally ridiculous (in the best way) stitch markers.

Yep. You heard that right. Chicken and Egg Stitch Markers are now hatching at The Sewtique Stitchery, and honestly? They might be the most egg-cellent thing I’ve made in a while. (I will not apologize for the puns. This is who I am.)

Why Chickens? Why Not?

When inspiration strikes, I don’t ask questions. I just follow the weird little thread of joy in my brain and see where it takes me. This time, it took me straight to the barnyard—because honestly, who wouldn’t want a fluffy little hen keeping track of their stitches?

These stitch markers are:

  • Handmade with love (and a bit of chicken wisdom)
  • Lightweight and snag-free
  • Adorably ridiculous in the best way possible
  • Perfect for crochet and knitting
  • Great conversation starters. (“Excuse me, is that… a tiny egg on your shawl?” Yes. Yes, it is.)

My Creative Process (or: How I End Up Making Things Like Chicken Stitch Markers)

I’m not one for boring. My brain basically lives in a craft store crossed with a vintage flea market and a dash of Alice in Wonderland. So when I sit down to make new things for my shop, I just follow the whimsy.

Sometimes I’m inspired by nature. Sometimes it’s a forgotten trinket in my notions drawer. And sometimes, like today, I just think, “You know what would make this sweater WAY more fun? A chicken.”

So I roll with it. And now you can, too.
