However, I have been knitting up a storm! The most recent nifty item I knitted is a lace bookmark. In fact, I have done it twice. The first yarn I used was a mixture of cotton and linen. It came out really soft and nice, but I wanted to try something that is made for this type of work. I went to Joann’s and found some interesting #3 yarn. It is 100% mercerized cotton and seemed to be easier to work with on the #1 US needles.

At this point, I am waiting on my
lace blocking wires from Knit Picks. Once I get those, I will be able to try my hand at this mysterious thing called blocking. Once I do that and maybe apply some fabric stiffener, my bookmarks should look much better. In the meantime, here is a kinda wacky picture of the first bookmark I completed.
