I like bookmarks - I like using up scraps of yarn - ta da!

Here's the swap. You have one partner to make one bookmark for. You can google pom pom bookmark for more ideas but here is where I got the idea from.

pom pom bookmark tutorial

Make your pom pom full, round, and trimmed nicely. This isn't for store bought pom poms (come on you have to learn to make these at sometime). Make them from basic acrylic yarn in multi colors or plain. It takes a good deal of yarn and you have to wrap about twice the size you want it to end up after trimming. trimming them down is messy, but it makes them real tight. Then crochet a strand to go into the book.

SWAP REQUIREMENTS: 1) One partner, one bookmark, senders choice. This is pretty basic and simple.

2.) Send on time and rate fairly. You can not rate down if you don't like the looks of the swap. Rate only if it met the requirements and not made poorly and falling apart. Sending late means it didn't meet all of the swap requirements and your partner can rate you a three. If you are new to swap-bot sending on time means to mail by the send date - not that it has to be received by the partner by that date.

Not rating at all is not only rude, but it isn't following Swap-bot rules.

SWAPPER REQUIREMENTS:

U.S REGIONAL ONLY, but you can host the same swap and set it up for your region.

Newbies with complete profile - it gives others an idea of what to send. Here's your chance to build ratings by doing a great job.

No experienced swappers with 1s or ratings below 4.95. I don't usually drop swappers until right before I assign partners. I read every profile, and I do drop people who I think might present a problem to other swappers (not regional U.S., several threes, ratings slipping, comments that you send late, a lot of resends, no recent signing in, being listed as a problem swapper etc.)

Don't join when you know you don't meet the requirements.

If we cannot crochet can we make a different strand to go with it?

You can still use the yarn and simply braid it. It needs to be thin enough to fit into the book without making it bulge and wreck the books spine

Thank you! As a librarian this is my pet peeve. I hate finding random thing shoved it a book. Pencils and pens are the worst!

I have great sympathy for the books spines - I have a bad back myself!
