Eff Off I’m Reading Bookmark

Edith Cummings created this subtle message for when we don’t want to be bothered. I think this would also be great to tie to your knitting needles or project bag to send the message “Eff Off I’m Knitting”. Easy quick project that knitters reported only took a couple of hours. It does recommend using a spool knitter to create the i-cords but you can knit them with needles. Pictured project by bloepper
