Japanese Books!

I got some fabulous Japanese craft books in the post from hyakuYenKnitter! I'm looking forward to trying to deciper the instructions! I love that the crafts look so culturally different! The little felt toys are great, the amigurami's look soo Japanese, I've never seen anything like the sandals from old clothing crafts and the beading book is lovely, though bizarrely, the name of each project is in English! I also got a pair of silk knot jewellery books from my sister for Easter (no eggs, phew!), a Chinese knotting one and a Celtic knotting one. Of course, that forced a trip to Hobbycraft for silk cord, and I've already tried out one of the Celtic knots! I also treated myself to a small resin kit, so I'm looking forward to experimenting with that!
