The secret is out of the bag, or wrapping paper in this case! I made some bookmarks for the ladies at work. These were very fun, & I used a lot of pretty lacy stitch patterns that I just loved. I had some fine white baby cotton left over, perfect for bookmarkers. I also used some multi colored sock cotton, but I didn't have a lot of it, plus it is a bit...wild! Since they had few stitches they worked up very quickly & I was able to have them completed in a week. Many thanks go to my sweet husband for making up little envelopes for them, since I was still knitting them late Tuesday evening!
Many of these feature the lacy faggotting stitch that I fell in love with during my stitch pattern search. All have relatively the same stitch count, but the sizes vary due to lateral spread of the lacy stitches. I tried some different finishes also, some have tassels, others have beads, some have twisted cord, some have I cord. Some patterns will follow! Hope you all like these as much as I did! Merry Christmas to all!
