Here are the rest of the bookmark pictures. I made a total of 14, one which seemed too thick, so I kept it for myself. It was made with Red Heart Luster Sheen, not even sure if they make this anymore, mine is about 20 years old! I tried to press it out to open the pattern a bit, but that didn't work too well, so...learn by trial & error!
Doing the bookmarks & having so much fun with the faggotting lace stitch gave me an idea for my daughter's scarf project. Since I was having so much trouble finding a stitch that didn't use too much yarn for it, the faggotting stitch seemed ideal. It really doesn't use much yarn at all, & it still has enough body to give some firmness to the scarf. I knit up a sample & my daughter loved it!
Needless to say, the scarf was whipped out in just a few days. She really liked it, & snapped it up immediately to wear. I wanted to do something a bit fancy with the ends, but she wanted it plain, no fringe or edgings. I was pretty proud of myself for coming up with what I thought was a unique scarf idea. Then, the next day, the Knit Picks catalog shows up in my mailbox. Guess what type of stitch pattern they show for a scarf???? Well, their's has fringe.
Now if only I can get it away from her for a little while so I can get some pictures to show the cyberworld! I hope to have some in a few days! But in the meantime, enjoy the remaining bookmark photos!
