I ordered this book on a whim some time ago from Superbuzzy. The simple charm of the projects lured me in.
I told myself that I know how to knit most anything and that I'm sure I will be able to figure out those Japanese instructions.
I was wrong.
I love these hats...
and though I know I can probably figure out a pattern for them on my own, there's something about deciphering the ones in this book that pose a challenge in a frustrating yet obsessive way.
Oh, and this one, I love it. But not only would I be deciphering Japanese but also crochet, too----sort of a double language barrier for me.
But still, it might be worth it. So, if you're fluent in reading Japanese, I might have a job for you...
