Two for Madelyn

Madelyn is the one who was instrumental in starting up the Harry Potter club at school.

I had already given her the red and gold bookmarks.

Next on the list were green and silver. I think she's going to like them!

Bookmark weekend

There's a Harry Potter book club at the high school, and one of the students asked me if I made bookmarks. I know he was referring to the ones my mom made for the seniors last year, but there's no reason why I can't make some!

I had the urge to work up a Kumihimo flat braid, something I hadn't done before. All of my previous Kumihimo braids have been the round ones.

I watched a YouTube video and got started right away. It took me all day, but I finished it. I think it's a little thin, but Luke liked it!

I also ordered some 1" wide Harry Potter ribbon from Amazon. All of the club members have received a Harry Potter ribbon bookmark, and I had enough to send some off the my grandchildren!

I'm fascinated with Curds & Whey from Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior. I've attempted it many times, and I've always made so many mistakes that I gave up. This time I stuck with it. The blue one is in size 20 Lizbeth #650 Denim Blue Lt. There are mistakes, but I think it still makes a pretty bookmark. The red one looks much better. It's in size 10 crochet cotton from Hobby Lobby. I like them both, and I think I may tat some more Curds & Whey bookmarks!
