A bookmark I made for The Hobbit! 🌱

I tried to rely on descriptions from the book and art from Tolkien for Bilbo's design rather than his movie design (I love his movie design though)

Knitted Bookmark! :D

[All IDs will be in alts]

Pattern is "Easy knitted bookmark" by Norman from Nimble Needles.

Notes on the piece under the cut

I'm really happy with how this turned out! It took me around four hours, and it was my first time working with tiny yarn and tiny needles so I count it as a big success.

If anyone else wants to try the pattern, please know that when the pattern says to yarn over, it means just move the yarn to the front of the needle, and not to move the yarn and knit a stitch. For instance, in the pattern it often goes "yarn over, knit two together," which in this case means "move yarn to the front of the needle, and then insert the needle directly into the next two stitches." I think this is probably a regional variation? Norman, who runs the blog, is from Austria, whereas most of my sources for learning what "yarn over" means are USAmerican or Canadian. The pattern could be adjusted to fit the other way of yarning over by casting on 18 stitches instead of 16, though I'm not sure how that would affect the appearance of the final bookmark.

I used US 1 (2.25mm) needles instead of the recommended US 0 (2.00mm) needles because I couldn't find the recommended size in any in-person stores, but I really like how the tension and thickness turned out so I probably won't change it if I make more of these in the future. The yarn is some lace-weight yarn my mom had leftover from an unknown project.

I did eight repeats of the main pattern, and then the final decreasing version to make the tip. For dimension approximates: until the decreases at the tip, the bookmark is 1.75" (4.5cm) wide. The main body of the bookmark is 7.75" (19cm) long, and the cord is 4.25" (11cm) long. The tassel was eyeballed, but came out to be 1.25" (4cm).

For those who are also invested in the book, it's a memoir that centers around the author's experiences with his apprenticeship as an antiquarian book seller, and the various shenanigans he gets into and characters he meets. It's by far one of my favorite books and I highly recommend it. (Please note: if you are, like me, unfamiliar with British slang, be aware that in the book, "torch" means "flashlight," not "great big burning object." Don't almost get a heart attack like I did.)

Alrighty, I think that covers it! Cheers!

Winter means I have more time for crafting. While inside with the snow falling, I decided to make a few bookmarks from yarn.

Almost a year ago I made a Moomin themed gift for my cousin.

It took some trial and error but I managed to sculpt two Moomin heads from apoxie and paint them to make some earrings. Then I painted a little Snufkin protrait and put together a metal bookmark.

It all looks so cute together, I am thinking of maybe sculpting some more little characters and make earrings out of them!

Barbie butterfly bookmark: Mariposa

Hi everyone. I wasn't posting properly for a few days because I was busy making a Barbie : Mariposa butterfly bookmark.

I used these wings as a guide:

This is the final result:

I am not in any way an artist, but I'm pretty happy with this one, considering it was my first attempt. I tried to get the details (including the sparkles) correct, but I need your opinion too. Also, the color wasn't properly captured in the second photo.

What do you think?

@woollylambda @barbie-edits @jayelarts @anqelhours I need your honest opinions please. Thanks!

Some bookmarks I've made this week!

My latest art project was a bookmark of Alphonse Elric and his passion for cats, probably my favorite running gag in FMA. Ed is definitely going to say yes this time 👀

New bookmark! I just finished the tassel this morning. It'll be available on Etsy at noon Pacific time this Friday. Mark your calendars, because I don't think this one will last long.
