Bookmark
Finally finished the bookmark I’ve been working on for…..months! It has some issues, but I was relieved to pronounce it complete today. Next Sunday I can start on something new. 🙂

This and That
preparing the samples Today I stapled one set of each sample – of those that were ready – so that I could lay them out. To my mind the samples should be visually appealing but the sequence also needs to make some sort of technical sense as well. What I decided on was to lay…

Lace Bookmark
It’s been months since I’ve done much bobbin lace. A couple of weeks ago I got a simple Torchon bookmark started and today I finished it off. We’ll meet again the end of August – perhaps I’ll get another bookmark started before then, although I have rather a lot of items on my to-do list. For…

Since I had successfully done a couple of repeats of…

Bunch o’ Bookmarks
Don’t know if two and a bit bookmarks can legally be called a ‘bunch’, but oh well… I’ve made this pattern numerous times, in a variety of colour combinations. It’s sort of a colour exercise because depending on the stitch (woven structure) the colours can read quite differently. Click on the photo for a close…
