This is my latest bookmark done in size 10 thread & #7 steel hook. It's from www.freepatterns.com and called "Gardener's Bookmark" for those that would like the pattern. Warning: there are tons of ends to weave in. I counted 36!!! Measures 8 1/2"h x 1 1/4"w

Back of bookmark with ends still attached

ImageShack must be acting up again because it's taking forever to load the pictures. Sorry about that. ImageShack is fixed now....pictures should show up fine now.

Thanx for the vote of confidence. The only reason it got finished is because I kept looking at it and thinking....DO IT NOW!!!! :rofl Finally I convinced myself, the sooner I started, the sooner it would get done....then it would be DONE!

Thanx all. It actually took less time to make the flowers and attach them than it did weaving in all the ends but it was so worth it. I really like this bookmark and will make another for myself but will figure out a way to eliminate those ends. This bookmark will be going into the Bookmark Swap. Now that I have 15 bookmarks, I have to decide which ones go and which ones don't.

That is such a beautiful bookmark!!! I think I need to make it, despite all the weaving. Or maybe I need to wait and see if I'll get it in the swap :lol
