This crocheted bookmark was a thoughtful gift to me from So KnitPicky – to reflect two interests we both share: reading and crochet. She learned how to crochet less than a month ago and is already working with crochet thread.

It’s much easier to find excellent crochet pattern support these days; obviously, that could be due to Ravelry, crochet bloggers, and the fact that I’m now actively looking for great crochet patterns. Often it’s really difficult for me to see beyond a poor visual representation of a crochet project – or to navigate a button- and blinky-filled list of crochet patterns to find a gem. Again, well-photographed crochet projects on Ravelry help immensely!
