I have been an avid reader since I was a child. My parents, who cultivated my love for the stories that I often surrender my days to, bred into me a dislike for anything that marks or harms a book in any way. That dislike encompassed those poor misguided tomes who have had the misfortune of pages being ‘dog eared’ or turned down, in order for the hapless reader to mark their spot.

I found myself expressing my creativity by scribbling out doodles on slips of paper destined to become often-abused bookmarks. These days, I’ve graduated to a higher level of creativity and come to realize that bookmarks are not my forte.

In my search for the perfect bookmark, I stumbled across these delightful yarn creations by Traci Lynn Crochet. The site offers more than just adorable ways to keep your page; make sure you check out the Ruffle Trim Kerchief with Removeable Flower Pin while you’re there!
