I would totally snag some stitch markers if you listed them. In fact, I as planning on doing a custom request next month to see if you could do some. I looooove pretty stitch markers.
As a rule, i want at least 2 that match, however, I've had projects where I could conceivably use 6 - 8 that match. 4 is probably a good starting point though, I would think.
Is giddy at imaging the beauty of Wyrding Studios stitch markers *squeee*
BTW Kyth, if you want to pick up some Kid Silk Haze in a suitable color, I'll go ahead and do Ice Queen for you. Do you want it beaded or not?

I already mentioned this to Kyth, but figured that it doesn't hurt to mention it here, too. 
I tend to tackle projects that no one sane would actually want to do and stitch markers become my salvation in keeping track of where I am in the project. The project I'm working on right now with the smallest number of markers has 9 on. So for me, a set would probably have to be 12, with 1 different to mark the start of the pattern/round, at least for my normal insanity level projects. Definitely no less than 6 for me, though.
I did mention the whole 'insane' thing, right?

And... beaded, I think? I can probably send you appropriate beads, too, since I seem to have rather a lot of them around here for some strange reason.
Shock...I never would have guessed!

I tend to buy markers in sets of 6 -- 5 matching and one alternate for beginning of round, but would be love to have a 12-set, too, for cable/lace sweaters and shawls.

I bought a package of leverback earring supplies to make earrings from and found that for my crocheting they made perfect stitch markers... so I haven't used but maybe three of them for actual earrings. Crochet stitch markers need to be able to open like that, unlike the knitting ones that just slip on the needle, because they actually hook on the work-in-progress.
That may be another something to think about when designing stitch markers - us crocheters love the pretty ones too, but often they're made for knitters not crocheters.

I completely agree with Sealgair! I too crochet and am frustrated with what seems to be an utter lack of pretty stitch markers for crocheters. If WS were to create a pack of stitch markers for crocheters I would definitely buy a pack or two or three... I would also likely buy them for the other "hookers" in my life.  I would be happy with opening markers (like lever back earrings) or split ring markers (like these). Ooooh, I can't wait! *clapping hands in utter excitement*.
