(The book is A Wood of One’s Own by Ruth Pavey, by the way. A gift I received from a friend.)
Solid colours look good. Self-striping yarn works, too, if the stripes are not too wide and the yarn sections used are chosen well. And I think especially some of those ‘busy’ hand-painted yarns are fun for Gift Leaves.
Nice! With a longer I-cord it could be a nice bookmark as well.
Thank you! Yes, I think they make nice bookmarks, too.
I can certainly see myself knitting these pretty leaves, and using them as you’ve suggested.
Many thanks for the pattern, Marijke!
My knitting friend is coming to lunch on Wednesday, and I will gift her the pattern, compliments of you!
You’re welcome – it’s been fun making them. Enjoy the lunch with your knitting friend!
Wat een leuk idee!
Jawel, hè? Een leuk klein dingetje voor tussendoor.
