2nd sock is on the needles

marker for knitting in the round

Since I mostly knit in the round on a circulair needle, its very practical to have a stitchmarker.
So I know where the rounds starts/ends.
I make them for my shop, and as gifts for my knitting friends.
But this one is for me.
Its very important to surround yourself with beauty!
How do you keep track with knitting in the round?
