I designed and crocheted bookmarks to give as Yuletide gifts. I used Bedspread Weight Thread and a size 1 steel hook to crochet bookmarks that fit nicely between pages. The tags I printed and stamped for them include a the background story:
On Tuesday, December 21st, 2010, we experienced the first full Lunar Eclipse on the Winter Solstice since the year, 1638. I designed and crocheted this bookmark as a gift to commemorate this rare event, which is indicated in the bookmark by images of the sun and moon at either end of the bookmark.
