Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts! Lacy Crochet! -- Kyuuto! = Cute!

Savvy crafters know that today's hippest designs hail from Japan. But it's near to impossible to find translated patterns. Or at least it used to be. With Lacy Crochet, we're proud to present one of the first two books in our brand new Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts line. Lacy Crochet offers 22 patterns for delicate accessories sweetly rendered for the home and wardrobe. This book enjoyed huge success on its home shores. The pages burst with quirky color photographs, step-by-step directions, and helpful technical illustrations. At last, the appeal of authentic Japanese content with the ease of English instruction. Stay tuned for more in coming seasons!

Kyuuto! = Cute Easy

As a veteran of many a Japanese craft book, I think I can safely say that the time spent figuring out the pattern is more often than not worth every hour. Leave to Chronicle to give us the incredible coolness of Japanese craft book patterns without the (often painful) learning curve. If you have a decent handle on the basics, you can whip up some seriously cute booties, box covers, daisy covered potholders and more. Start now and Christmas is a cake walk.

Super kyuuto!

This is the latest book I've added to my shelf of "things I am totally going to learn how to do as soon as I have some free time." It might take a little while, since I already have vowed to pick up knitting, felting, sewing, embroidery, gardening, surfing, raising a puppy, cooking, skate boarding, and ballet. But Lacy Crochet is definitely going to be worth it. The patterns and photos are super kyuuto! (get it? = CUTE). I think I should also probably learn Japanese so I can find other crafts that haven't yet made it to the states. Fun! I can't wait!
