I just love your blog, and would like to thank you for sharing your life with all of us.

There is a technique I used to attaching a new skin of yarn that I think you might appreciate. Not a fan of weaving in ends, I came across this method in “Knitting into the Mystery” – and use it at every opportunity.

Take several inches of stand A, and place it over strand B.
Using a similar colored thread sew/darn 1-2” of the yarn together.
Knit or crochet as normal, working past the thick spot with extra tension.
Cut excess of the strands.

The Cherry trees sound and look beautiful. I hope that your transition in Japan is going smoothly.

The happy yarn that you mentioned caught my eye…I bought a kit here in Canada with Japanese yarn called make me happy, so I guess what I make out of it will make me happy LOL!

Something I don’t think I ever wan to experience. All the yarns look so fun and I just love the tape measure, it’s so cute. The only yarn I can find at our Dollarama is fun fur type stuff which I’m not a big fan of. Did the all the sparkly yarn cost a 100 yen or was it 100 yen each? I would love some of that to make a skirt out of.
