It’s raining Bookmarks!

I can’t believe why I am stuck on these. Well I’ll drop in a secret – if anyone hasn’t tried this pattern yet, I sincerely think you should. It is just great to work on.

And I’d suggest you use an HDT – look at the way the color unfolds… this pattern does justice to all the wonderful HDT threads. That way I think no pattern can not do justice to HDT. They are a marvel to work with while the Pattern can be found at Kersti.com.

Here’s a snapshot for all of you to have a closer look and I am all of you HDT fans will agree to this. The pictures arent that clear since I dont have a scanner at home and have to rely on my Digital camera.

HDT overload

I had promised sometime back that I will display my HDT treasures… well here it is….
Now the only problem is what do I do with this lot????
Threads include :-
Marilee - Tiger eye, Roses, Dark Red, Rhubarb crisp, Leafy, cool waters and finally Hydrangea.
Sherry - Vickies Lilac, Tutti Frutti & Spring Poppies, Tulips & Sunset sky, Rust, Yummy Grapefruit, Coffee & Cream and spring poppies again.
All these are in size 20, except for one spool of spring poppies and dark red.
Just like Laura I am more comfortable using Size 20 thread but with tremendous persuasion from Sherry I finally tried size 80 - and she was right it really fine and very good.
Conclusion - It’s to painful to see it wasted – I wanna keep it just as it is!
Now the problem lies when both of them being their naughty self keep coming out with different colors that it becomes painful to resist the temptation and then just like HDT addicts I finally have to give in. Girls... Please have mercy! :-)

Bookmarks again!


Seems like tatting bookmarks are most addictive…at least to me! Actually they are great to work at. They are simple and very elegant and as Marty put in, they also make an excellent gift.

I simply adore bookmarks! So here’s one more to my List. This one is done in Marilee’s thread. I totally agree with Clyde and Laura and will say that H.D.T is the best.

I must admit though that I have been saving them for God knows what! I think its time I used them… for only then I can do more justice and buy more.
