A little surprise from Antonio!

My super spoiler Antonio dela Weasley sent me a little "pre-kit" package today! His uncle Vincenzo magically dyes this wonderfully soft yarn...the muggles use it to knit with. Anyway, in a package of this yarn from Vincenzo's shop on Diagon Alley (where I can't help but shop) Antonio included a wee packet of goodies for me! Included were point protectors for small circulars, yarn needles, and a beautiful black and blue beaded item. Being a novice muggle-style knitter myself, I am not sure what this item is for. I did however send an owl of thanks to Antonio with an inquiry as to the use of this beautiful item. I will post his reply as soon as I get it! Thanks again Antonio!
