Stumpy
© 1998 Kersti Anear
The bookmark on the left is shown original size and was tatted using six strands of DMC embroidery cotton for both the shuttle and ball threads. It reminds me of the Stumpy-Tail lizards of Australia.

Loved the stumpy bookmark so much that I used the pattern to make earrings. They are stunning. Thank you for the pattern.
That’s fabulous – do you have a photo? I’d love to see them.
Here is the public link where a picture of the earrings are.
See the website for a picture.
[...] Kersti’s Stumpy Bookmark Pattern, in Purple. I still need to wash and block it. I finished this Saturday night, and I had to laugh this morning when I realized that I had grabbed a slightly darker shade of purple to finish up the last row of the bookmark. Oh well. This was my test of the pattern anyway, so I could learn the nuances before making more. [...]

I don’t see “reverse work” in the pattern. Is that correct?
In many patterns you’ll find that reverse is implied when changing from ring to chain and is only mentioned when you do something unusual, such as not reverse.

Hello Kersti ! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful patterns ! I made your stumpy bookmark and posted photos on my blog (refering to your site, of course). I tried it in red and brown and it turned out well I think. Thanks again !
