Blossom Bookmark

I have a page-a-day calendar for knitting that my sister gave me. A few weeks ago, this bookmark pattern highlighted the day. I decided to give it a go. The yarn is just miscellaneous yarn from Hobby Lobby. I like the way the blossom turned out. I am thinking these bookmarks might make good teachers' gifts. They are made using fingerling weight yarn and may require too much time. I was surprised how long the icord took for me to do. I know the lighting is not the best, but you get the idea.

Now off to the land of ravelry to find a quick pattern for Pumpkin's swim team mate. She is signing to swim with Vanderbilt next week. How cool is that? Too bad they only have a girls' team:(
