Browsing through Pinterest the other day I noticed a pattern for a crochet corner bookmark, so I thought I'd give it a go.
I used the recommended yarn and hook and it was fun and quick to make but I'm not that impressed with it.
I think it's a bit bulky, although you are able to close the book okay. My opinion would be that it would be better made in a thinner yarn.
If you fancy making one there are various designs on Pinterest and they don't take much yarn.
They are beautiful works of art. They could be Gothic or Victorian.
ReplyDeleteClever idea, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteits pretty and would look decorative on the two corners of the cover of the book..
ReplyDeleteIt is cute! So will you be making another with thinner yarn?
ReplyDeleteYou are very clever, that is really lovely.
ReplyDeleteI think that I would be to crocheting what Boris Johnson is to diplomacy. A disaster.
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI rarely read real books any more but that sure is pretty
ReplyDeleteMy littlest granddaughter made me a corner bookmark made out of origami paper. I love it. Yours is so pretty but I can see where you might think it bulky. ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to make a tatted version. Good point about using fine thread.
ReplyDeleteF likes the crochet lace. Strangely we were looking for paper puppet ideas earlier this week and found little page corners with interesting embellishments (faces etc stuck on or painted) - you could possibly stitch them with your skills. Purrings to my fellow felines. Mr T
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I like the colour too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a clever idea it's really pretty.
