It is, Challice, thanks!
Rachel, I don’t know if Hobby Lobby carries sock yarn anymore. They used to, but I haven’t seen it in a while, and granted, I haven’t checked in a while, either. But don’t forget we saw there was a yarn shop in your area.
If you can’t find any sock yarn, try some of the same thickness…snip a piece of AMA’s sock yarn and bring it along.

Wondering how that pattern could convert into a scarf or shawl. Beautiful.

I love this bookmarker. Is there a printer friendly version?

[...] Just slip two stitches from the left needle to the right, just like you were going to knit them. Then, put the left needle through the two stitches, while leaving them on the right needle. Next, simply knit the two stitches together through the back loop. It is actually much easier than it sounds, and it produces a really pretty left-leaning stitch. I’m using this new, exciting stitch and a pattern I found on this website to make this pretty bookmark: Lace Waves Bookmark. [...]

Thank you for the pattern for this lovely bookmark! My 9 yo daughter was browsing Ravelry and picked it out for me to make for her and then found your blog! This afternoon I’m going to grab a cup of tea and enjoy the rest of your blog, then get knitting on that bookmark!
