Building number found on my way to Cheer Wool.

My current favouritest Japanese knitting book, Aran Knitwear and Accessories ISBN9784529046053.
There are 21 patterns in all, here are some of my favourite patterns. There is a Ravelry link to this book and some of the patterns.









Beautiful book! It seems to me, some models look like the Aran hand-to-hand sweater from EZ? I like this model a lot :-)

Nice, thick, cabled sweaters and hats are so appealing this time of year, aren't they?

Wow, have just found your blog and this book is amazing. I would like to make them all.
Do you know if there is a english version of the book or if the patterns is all in japanese?.
Best regards

Hi Siow Chin - Happy CNY! We have a Kinokuniya right down the street here in KL. I love the patterns in this book - but tell me how hard would they be to figure out since I don't read Japanese or characters of any kind. Though I have taught myself to sew clothes from the Japanese sewing books and have been pretty happy with the results so far.

Hi! I really enjoy your blog. It is very useful and inspiring.
Do you know if the patterns of this book are also in Japanese? I've checked in Amazon and there are some instructions in both languages but I am not sure about the pattern instructions.
Thanks for all your help!!
