Thank you for posting the bookmark pattern Rachael, I love tatting bookmarks. I am tempted to tat it without looking at the picture, just for the fun of it, lol.

Oh, pretty, I think I just found a pattern for some of my left over variegated thread. Did you twist your tail before or after you knotted it?

[Linda S Davies]

Simple, but very effective!

Did you twist your tail before or after you knotted it?

I did an overhand knot before and after the twist and held the 2 green threads together and the 2 carribean threads together.
