In My Mailbox (#7)

In my Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren in which bloggers share the books they have received each week.

This week, the craft books I'd ordered from BetterWorldBooks came in the mail.

 I found out about these two when I was researching Japanese knitting. The one on the left has amazing embroidery patterns that I cannot wait to try out. And the one on the right is about Japanese crochet, another great book with great patterns.

And these two I've been wanting forever. They were quite expensive, but when I received them, I understood why: they're very detailed, containing both charted and written descriptions of lace and cable patterns. And they have A LOT of them.

Kyuuto! book-shopping spree

I was going to write a review for Living Dead in Dallas since I've finished it last night, but I got side-tracked and book-shopped instead.

These two I've been eyeing for a long time online now:

 

These two Vogue Knitting books are what started it all, actually. I got an e-mail from Vogue Knitting International,  and I thought I'd get them while they were on sale. But guess what? The shipping was going to be more than what the books were costing me, so I got them at BetterWorldBooks instead. This way, they're going to take about a month to arrive, but, hey, at least I'm not totally broke, right?

P.S. Apparently, 'kyuuto' means 'cute' in Japanese. Hence, the title of this entry.
