wow, I didn’t know that there were people out there who have been translating Japanese craft books. This is really good news for me! Thanks for posting about them, I will check out the link.

Yay! Aren’t they pretty? I went all the way to J-Town yesterday (Steeles & Victoria Park) to see if they had any crafty books at the Japanese Book Centre. They had one knitting book and one with pictures of people in their “everyday routines” (kind of like Come Home, I suppose) but that was it! So it’s nice to have these readily available!

Those books are a treat for the eyes. I have Linen, Wool, Cotton and plans to buy patchwork style. They also have a few more books coming in Oct. One focuses on young girl cloths – can’t wait to get my hands on it and make some things for my daughters.

I have *Linen Wool Cotton* in the original, untranslated version, and I have used and used and used it to death. How wonderful that it’s available in English, too. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
