This is 'Roses and Vine Bookmark', designed by Paula Gero. I found the pattern on Intatters. I pruned the vine a bit - the pattern calls for chains with 5 ds between picots, but I reduced that to 3. I also used four flowers instead of five. It's still 22 cm long. I had to keep my wits about me to follow all the twists and turns of the vine, but the pattern is very clear. I may try it again using size 40 thread instead of the 20 I used here. The pattern actually says size 10. I think Paula's size 10 must be different to mine, or the bookmark would be absolutely enormous! I had trouble hiding the end of the yellow thread in the small ring, so I did a false picot and then hid the start and end threads in the purple chains.
That's SOOOO pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt does make a very pretty bookmark. Wouldn't it be adorable as an edging on a little girl's dress?
ReplyDeleteIt would!
Delete... looks absolutely great!!...
ReplyDeleteThe false picot turned out perfect. That is a very pretty bookmark. Reminds me of a Clematis vine.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm a bit dubious about calling it a rose!
DeleteOver from 25 motif page... saw your flower motif. Had to come and comment that it is really very nice. :thumbs up: keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Welcome to janemactats!
DeleteThat is very pretty. Good idea about the yellow ends - I have always had trouble in that situation and, of course, I am now wondering why I never thought of your solution! Makes so much sense!
ReplyDeleteFox : ))
It was so much easier, I was glad the idea occurred to me.
DeletePretty!
