*peers* Wow. TWO knitters. Um... right this second, as much as I -DO- want to learn... given the upcoming bankruptcy stuff, hunting for an apartment, and moving all the salvagable stuff out of this shathole of a house ... well, my plate's kinda full. :(
C'n I prod one or both of you once things calm down? Pwease?
as for the "must have more books" urges, oi vay, we sure as hell can relate on *that* one ;-)
knitting up bookmarks is fun because the work goes so quickly (good if you are like us and want to finish something now now NOW) ;-)... knitting one might take a couple hours at most, as opposed to a month or so to finish a sweater...
just knit it as long as you like, finish it off anyway you want (we put a little tassel on Christy's, but you could just leave a plain cast-off edge)... and wet the bookmark in some starchy water... let it dry laying flat (maybe pinned out tight if you want to open up a lacy middle).. and then a press with a warm iron... and you're finished..
