Every product that I create, I treat as my project.

A Project in IT world, includes a plan, an estimate, and a forecast. Being an IT employee, these fundamental points have gotten into my habit, and hence in every work I do, be it professional, hobby or any passion-driven. And moreover, these products or creative items also have a defined timeline, like any project.

The best part is, it gives me a sense of accomplishment when I complete them, within the defined timeline. I do rework on them if I am not happy with the final outcome. I consider blankets, shrug, placemats, floor mats, and my other previous works, as big projects since they take days (even weeks) to complete. And I pick up small items that could be prepared within hours, to get a break from working on complicated, challenging or big projects. Leaves, flowers, bracelets, bookmarks and places are examples of these easy projects that require at utmost 1-2 hours to complete.

I liked Pansy leaf pattern and I chose to make this Pansy leaf bookmark for my another book.

Process:

I took the leaf pattern from LookWhatIMade – Pansy Leaf Pattern but increased the initial chain count to 13 as my wool was of fine quality.

Product Specifications:

Defining Dimensions:-

• Leaf size: 3″
• String length: 7″

You can alter the sizes based on the total count of the stitches for the rows.

Optional Alterations:-

• You can add pom-pom matching the colour with the edging or the base colour. There are different ways to create pom-pom.
• You can attach flowers, beads, tassel at the end of the bookmark
• You can add your tag.

Remember: do not over accessorise it. This hides the beauty of the pattern itself. Believe in elegance simplicity!!
