Wow! Looks like many of you are interested in Japanese craft books. I've already had almost 600 downloads of my Stitch-Cast show on the subject. How fun! So I thought I would start posting a few photos from my library. First up is "Natural Taste" (ISBN 4-8347-2416-6). It's a crochet book and comes complete with losts of diagrams so that you can complete all 49 projects. I loved the "granny square" bag and kitty on the cover, which prompted me to pick it up while at Mistsuwa a couple weeks ago. Inside there are a wide range of projects. . .
I particulalry liked the many basket type things and these cute little pincushions! There were also some really cute baby booties and baby toys (rings with little bunny and bear heads!) and a gorgeous blanket.
This week I'm actually doing a podcast on crochet, so please stop by this weekend and check it out!
i love all the great japanese craft books! especially the little crocheted dollies! *sigh. i sooo wish there were someplace near me i could get them :(
