Sunrise Sunset Bookmark



This is a pattern by Martha Ess from her book Playing with Picots.  The thread is a HDT from Jess of Tat-ilicious called Rainbow-licious  in Size 40. I was looking through the book to see which patterns I have not done and when this pattern came to view, I just thought of this HDT which I received a few weeks back. Have you experienced this before? Somehow you knew what thread you want to use by just looking at the pattern. It does not happen often but when it does, you just have to follow your instincts. I think the thread looks fabulous.

  10. Both the HDT and the pattern look fabulous! I love how the picots are so unconventional, stretching across and making bridges to join the undulating interior. Very nice indeed.
