This is my latest find, a gift for myself *grin*
I usually check out knitting and crocheting books from the local library, but this baby is an exception. It is truly a keeper *hugs*
The book is 160 pages thick, divided to six sections which are doilies, motif, edgings and braids.
The paper quality is superior and the pictures are beautifully captured.
The layout of the book is simple and easy to follow even for a non-Japanese reader.
The pattern follows immediately after the illustrations. This saves a lot of confusion in searching for the right pattern.
I am yet to try a pattern, but from the look of it, it seems achievable even for a beginner like me.
I love the fun and modern designs included in the book together with the more conventional crocheting patterns.
The book is printed in Japan

OMG the book is nice! Definately a keeper! Would like to get one myself!
Hmmm wondering whether it's available in Kino...
Can't wait to see your new crochet project from this book =)
I love this book, will check out at Kinokuniya.
Fyd and Jess - it truly is a wonderful book, with glossy and kawaii pictures.. I love looking through the patterns and daydreaming.. it is selling for 1600yen - i tried finding it on Amazon.com, but sadly not listed, only available on Amazon.co.jp
Do let me know if you find it in kinokuniya kay..
p/s - Fyd - took your advise and tried crochetting with thicker yarn, definitely easier and hides many of the imperfections.. hehehe :P
Hehe...which means more crochet project is coming! =D
If it's not available then most probably will need your help to get one (if possible). Hehehe
Aaa..how I miss the bookshops in Japan & Tokyu-Hands in Tokyo...
I would shop like crazy if I'm there now... =(
if you cant find it in Msia, would be happy to help you, no worries..
I'm crochet like a snail.. lembap and only in front of the TV.. hohoho (working on a scarf for Sofea now, winter pun dah nak habis scarf x siap-2 lagi..*sigh*)
