I'm almost afraid to say it, but I've stolen a pattern! About a week ago I was blog surfing and I found the celtic cross in this post. There are pictures of how the cross is made up, and I thought I'd try to make it for myself. I didn't count the stitches or anything, I just tried. What I made was this:
Not too bad for being made without a pattern, but I think I could have dropped a stitch or two on the chains in the middle... The cross perhaps is a little bulky for a bookmark, but made with a thinner thread (I used Gjestal Maxi, approx. size 10) this would make a lovely pendant! Anyway, I don't want to violate any copyrights, so I checked out the book where the pattern is from (Celtic Tatting Knots & Patterns, by Rozella Linden), and it's now in my shopping cart :)
