I have always enjoyed reading, for as long as I can remember. One thing I’m not good at, however, is keeping up with bookmarks. I lose them regularly, which leads to me doing one of two things. I either just put the book I’m reading face-down, open to the page I stopped on, which often leads to breaking of the spine, or I just grab whatever piece of stray paper is nearby and use that as a bookmark, which, while it works and doesn’t damage the book like the first option, is not the most elegant solution.
So when I realized I could crochet bookmarks, I was like, “Finally! A bookmark I (maybe) won’t lose!”
I made a few of these for friends and family in the past, and one for myself as well. And I was right–I’ve had my bookmark since February and haven’t lost it yet!
I have plans to make more bookmarks because they’re quick, they’re fairly easy, and they’re fun to make. Plus, you can make the top part be just about anything you want it to be.
I do not have these listed in my Etsy store yet because I don’t have a huge selection of them at the moment. I was just so excited about them that I had to give y’all a sneak peek! If you’re interested in one of these (or if you have an idea for another one!), you can contact me via Email or Facebook.
