trying to look for someone who can help me out on this one....

I've always been awed and fascinated on the works posted on those Japanese and Chinese magazines like Ondoria nd Let's knit, not to mention Keito Dama... I even attempted and succeeded in making a hat from a Chinese mag... but I still haven't had a guts to attempt knitting from the said magazines... one day soon I hope, it's one of my plan this year to make a knitting wearable or even accessories perhaps...





And so I came upon this book...


Aren't they gorgeous or what? and there are alot more pretties in there too... but these three what strike me the most.




So go ahead and make them you say? Well I can't understand japanese writing and diagrams on how to start or go about it or even understand what kind of yarn and needles need to make these beauties. Oh but I can understand crochet symbol, no problem about that, only the diagram like this...

If only someone would be so kind as to teach me how to read them, I'd be truly grateful.

And oh I bought some yarns like Sockease from Manila (asked a friend to get it for me), and some mohair from Katia, yes a new brand carried by my lys. I hope there will be other type or brands soon. I'll post them once I took their pictures...
