Once upon a time I had two BEEEEEAUTIFUL crystal, enamel and brass bookmarks. About 18 months ago I lost them. I have been so sad everytime I've done any reading....I accidentally threw my beautiful bookmarks out with the rubbish....don't ask me how.
Recently, I was rifling through my craft stash looking for a bag of felt to make a "baby mobile" for a girlfriend's new, first "almost grandchild". Lo and behold at the very bottom of my stash, in a plastic bag with some forgotten books, were these!
I can't tell you how pleased I am. They shall never again leave my bedside table, unless they are in a book of course. I'm still looking for the second bag of felt...perhaps its time to do a bit of stash organising!
On another note...the knitting of my Woodland Shawl, except I'm making it a scarf, for a KAL is going quite well. I had a bit of a false start when I realised the hand dyed wool I was using didn't really do the lacy pattern justice. So I unravelled it and started again with another yarn. I was a little sceptical about how soft this Bendigo Woollen Mills 2ply classic would be when knitted but I have been very pleasantly surprised. I think it'll be very pleasing after finishing and blocking. The colour is called soft plum.
