Bookcat

Things have been pretty busy lately, but I managed to fit in a little knitting time. What did I come up with?

Well…my best friend told me she needed a weight to hold books open while she cooks or eats. She went on to list an alarming array of things she has employed to keep those pages open, including knives, bananas, and staplers.

My solution? Cheshire Bookcat:

Cheshire Bookcat is really the “Cat bookmark” pattern by Twins.  You can find that here.

But instead of making a flat bookmark, I filled him with decorative beads. Um…these:

That makes him plenty heavy enough to keep those pesky pages open.

He really is just a test knit, to see if weighting and size works.  Next time I will make him with smaller needles so his body doesn’t cover up quite so much text (especially with paperbacks).  And if I can find it….I think I’ll try some glow-in-the-dark yarn for his stripes and smile. 🙂

Details: Red Heart acrylic yarn in stash. Size 4 (US) needles. Knit flat.
