These two beautiful crochet books were bought from Kinokuniya when I attended SIT in Sydney at the end of March. It seems like so long ago now! I haven’t made anything from either book yet but spend a considerable amount of time just admiring the pretty pictures. I really like this tunic from Crochet So Fine:

And I’ve been admiring this tunic from the Japanese crochet book.

There are so many items that appeal to me in these two pattern books. The Japanese one is – unsurprisingly – all written in Japanese, but there are charted diagrams. I’ll need to use Ravelry to get more information on things like yarn weights and hook sizes in order to make myself a garment that fits from it. I think I might just get myself a coffee and have another flip through both books…..
