Heart to Heart Book Marker

 This was an afterthought...but I still wanted to share the pattern.  We needed something other than a recipt or a torn piece of paper to hold our place in the evening read...not to mention the school work reads.  So there will be more book markers forth coming.

Adorable. I have got to take a class or something and learn to do more than knit and purl. Thanks for sharing.

I wish I could rewire my brain & I could understand kniting everyone is making such wonderful items
Beautiful book marker!

Ooooh, SO pretty! A MUCH better way to honour a book than the odds and ends that we end up using.
