She is required both skills of hand knitting and crocheting too. she told me her college teachers are treasuring Japanese instruction books because of their simple signs and diagrams to follow easily. I hope you enjoy to learn a new skill.Hideko Ishidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400523288050581782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19023448.post-58434294387015014352006-12-16T20:54:00.000+13:002006-12-16T20:54:00.000+13:00Those look like great books, if her motifs are any...Those look like great books, if her motifs are anything to go by. I've been playing around with some old crochet patterns - it's easier than tatting, I think. Maybe that's because I already know how to do it. =) I'll look forward to seeing what you create this summer. That and a ball of thread shouldn't take up too much room. You can always dye the white any color later. Does anyone else in your family crochet?<br /><br />If the skinny little needles turn out to be too hard to handle, Boye does make a cover to go over them and make them fatter - apparently even the skinny hooks will fit inside it. It's very cheap here, so I imagine if you can find one there, it still isn't too bad. There are hooks from Lacis (lassies) that have a bigger cushioned handle on them, and they are nice, too.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.com
