Madness of Many Years Ago

These are my row markers (Left) and my stitch markers (Right). Yes, they are made of solid, 10-karat gold. I no longer recall why I had them made, other than that two goldsmiths used to visit the office on a regular basis, selling pieces of jewelry to my co-employees. Perhaps it was because I wanted to handle, while knitting, precious objects rather than objects of steel and plastic. It was a moment of Hadrianic madness. At any rate here they are--and, as you can see, I have already misplaced the fourth, big, stitch marker somewhere.
