They're definitely a genius. I guess they finally figured out how much we love their crafting :)

Actually, my daughter says crochet is easier -- only one needle to mess with -- what can I say, I was able to teach my daughter to crochet, and my husband to knit but not vice versa --

the adding of stitches as you go along usually comes from when you switch from knit to purl (or purl to knit) and swing your yarn over the needle instead of between them

maybe that will help!

Keep going with the knitting, I'm also trying to learn knitting right know and... Well, it's not hard to see that the creator of the stuff i manage to make is a beginner. It's so easy to miss, and evey miss is so visible in the knitting.
But with the right kind of yarn it's doesn't really matter. Sometimes it may even seem like it's supposed to be like that, beginnerlike.

Awesome blogg, by the way ^^ Really inspiring.

I'm with ya on the whole translating Japanese craft stuff in to English -- I'm amazed that there isn't more of this going on (or, hope against hope, maybe there IS and we just don't know all about it yet!). I also wish the US craft magazines, etc., would take a clue from the popularity of their Japanese counterparts -- here I am willing to spend 20 bucks on a craft magazine in a language I can't hope to understand just because the stuff is so COOL but I can't find a US magazine I'd spend $6 on!! Oh, keep the faith....

Ha ha yes knitting is complicated! It took me most of my 2nd pregnancy to knit a little stripey cardy for my baby that ended up so tiny - maybe the tension was wrong> ha.. but I still like buying the odd ball of special wool and owning tonnes of knitting needles etc...
the craft book looks good, I still use mine since buying it over 2 years ago, the stuff in them is just so nice!!!
