They are cute! Sure, worth a try for spangling. I then had a thought, would spangles be ok as stitch markers? but then the stitch marker needs to be smooth and so weighted that the yarn doesn't catch. I usually use a scrap of yarn for a stitch marker but I do like the tiny plastic hoops, and lately have enjoyed metal markers with heart charms, makes the knitting in progress look rather spiffy. It is sweater-knitting, not lace knitting though. I wonder if the charmed markers would catch on the fine knitting yarn?
Nice idea, anyway, thanks for sharing!
