It comes at the right moment, too, since I don't need to go to school again until January, so I don't have to worry about delayed trains, which is a great relief. Also, I've managed to complete the small projects I've been working on now and then when I've had a few minutes. Among them were the legwarmers that I showed you a few posts ago. :) Only I made them in really thick, comfy yarn. <3 So they're really warm. <3
The other day I also found a great crochet book - a Japanese book, which in contrary to Western pattern books didn't have the usual diagrams but actual pictures of the patterns, which I find so much more useful! <3 I've never been able to decipher Western knit- or crochetpatterns, but this was so easy! I've been working on an adorable cape with a lovely pattern, and it actually looks as adorable as on the pictures, just because they were so easy to use!
It's been the same for me with sewing patterns, so I think I will now completely give up on Western patterns and only go for the Japanese ones, since they are so much better - and so much cuter! <3

That is so cuuute!!! Would it be possible for me to acquire the pattern somehow? Can't wait to see your finished product!
Ah, yes, I think I can put the pattern up here. :) I can post a picture of the finished cape as well while I'm at it! ;)
Oh, I almost forgot. The name of the book is 'Asashi Baby' and has knitting and crochet patterns. :) They were easy enough to make adult sized - just use a bigger crochet-hook and thicker yarn. :)
