Flickrnew japanese craft books
Kari and I had a great time in Chicago. Kari made this lovely soft fleece tree scarf for me, accessorized with a Crafty Ginger tsumami kanzashi flower snap – yay! She also gave me some gorgeous grey fuzzy yarn, which I know I’ll be able to make good use of 
We went to the Sanseido bookstore in the Mitsuwa Japanese marketplace . If you’re in Chicago I highly recommend you check it out if you love Japanese craft books (and who doesn’t?) – they had a wide selection and the prices were very reasonable. I managed to restrict myself to buying three:
ISBN 9784529039017 (cute stuffed toy patterns)
ISBN 4277490239 (crochet motifs)
ISBN 9784277490405 (pretty patchwork)
Beautiful, inspirational books! And all 3 for only $20

Just like to say thanks for introducing Mitsuwa, which I’ve now marked as a must-see & must-go place in Chicago!
