to relax
09:32 Meri: I'm in the hospital this morning, but when I brought my computer to work, it had no power, so I thought I'd give it a try.
09:36 Tokuko: I'm at home today, so I put the cat on my lap and ate while doing the laundry.
09:37 Meri: Slow down. envy
09:37 Tokuko: I've been tired lately and haven't been able to knit at all, so I need to recover my strength here.
09:37 Tokuko: At this rate, the knitting work will not end!
09:38 Meri: Yesterday I was so busy that I couldn't sleep, and reading the news made me even more sleepless. I should have knitted.
09:38 Meri: Not progressing at all
09:39 Tokuko: Reading or knitting is probably the best way to relax.
09:40 Meri: Really
09:40 Meri: I did Kogin, but I don't feel like I was able to relax
09:40 Tokuko: Yes, we started taking notes recently.
09:40 Meri: Oh yeah
09:40 Meri: I haven't written anything new yet
09:41 Tokuko: I'm posting the correspondence for 2014 right now.
09:41 Meri: It makes me feel nostalgic
09:42 Tokuko: But only six years ago. I'm posting while thinking that the situation has changed a lot.
09:44 Meri: Isn't six years a long time? The longest I've ever been in one place is 6 years. elementary schools and insurance companies. Ah, did you change elementary schools? No.
09:45 Tokuko: I see. I will write something again when the correspondence is over, so please stay in touch.
09:45 Meri: Nine times in all? looking forward to.

HiyaHiya Festival
10:49 Tokuko: A tremendous amount has finally arrived.
10:50 Meri: I feel like I can buy what I wanted now
10:50 Tokuko: I think I kept you waiting.
10:51 Meri: Bamboo needles are in stock for the first time
10:52 Tokuko: You've been asking for it for a long time. Finally appeared this time!
10:52 Tokuko: Bamboo also has sharp needles.
10:53 Meri: Pretty much. I found it very easy to knit. Strongly recommended for those who like bamboo more than metal
10:53 Meri: It's especially good for combing two eyes at a time
10:54 Tokuko: I also prefer bamboo needles when knitting thin threads, so I'm thinking of trying it next time.
10:54 Tokuko: Recommended for knitting socks. I can knit tight.
10:54 Meri: Oh yeah.
10:55 Meri: If it's 3 or 4 or above, metal would be good.
10:55 Meri: Yarn is getting heavy
10:56 Tokuko: There are a lot of short hand sets, and there are so many different types, so I think you'll get lost quite a bit.
10:57 Tokuko: For the time being, I think it would be a good idea to buy one piece of bamboo and one piece of metal, and check the knitting comfort.
10:57 Meri: First, the tip of the standard needle.
10:58 Tokuko: Yes. It's sharp enough!
10:58 Meri: Please give it a try. Hiyahiya I love you!
10:58 Tokuko: There is also a video explaining the replacement circular needle set, so please refer to that as well.
The day I changed my bag
09:33 Meri: Starbucks' barista brother is a cool handsome young man
09:34 Tokuko: It's a common occurrence with Meri.
09:34 Meri: You changed your bag, right?
09:34 Tokuko: That's fatal. It can not be helped.
09:35 Meri: Well, it's near Starbucks. It's a bicycle.
09:35 Tokuko: I will join you soon.
09:36 Tokuko: So, the sock fair is still going on this week, but today we'll be selling supporters clubs.
09:37 Meri: Oh yeah. I think the recruitment period is short this time
09:38 Tokuko: The main feature is always free shipping, but there are many other things that are hidden.
09:39 Meri: Secret sales, invitations to events, etc.
09:39 Meri: Sales of limited products, advance sales, reservations, etc.
09:40 Tokuko: After that, we will do our best to respond to detailed requests for mail-order sales.
09:41 Meri: We also accept consultations by email and phone, but this is a service that is not available to general customers.
09:42 Tokuko: If you're interested, don't miss this opportunity! You only apply twice a year.
09:43 Meri: There are many inquiries outside the recruitment period, but you can't join in the middle
09:43 Tokuko: Our low-key talk delivery is also popular.
09:44 Meri: As our name suggests, we are a club that gives back to everyone who supports amirisu. If you can join us with that kind of feeling.
09:45 Tokuko: We look forward to your participation!
09:45 Meri: Nice to meet you!

10:20 Meri: Right. It's pretty much gone now.
10:21 Tokuko: What Meri wanted was the Hemleva Keychain.
10:21 Meri: Yes. I already love it.
10:22 Meri: And hand soap

10:23 Tokuko: The quality exceeds the price! I'm already using it.

10:25 Meri: Good
10:26 Tokuko: I think the spool accessories are cute too. where did you find this
10:26 Meri: It's a Tokyo company, but in Hokkaido. I bought it for myself because it's cute, and I love it.
10:27 Tokuko: When I went to Hokkaido? It's nice to use scraps.
10:28 Meri: Right. It's just a little eco
10:29 Tokuko: The craftsmanship is so delicate that it feels like Japanese handiwork. Also, the original marker for acorns, which always sells out quickly, is back.
10:30 Meri: People are buying more and more and there may not be much left
10:31 Tokuko: How would you like to treat yourself this year?
10:31 Meri: Stay tuned for the second installment, including the sweater kit!
sweater club 2019
08:56 Tokuko: Good morning. It doesn't get completely cold.
08:57 Meri: It's pretty cold in Kyoto.
08:57 Meri: Autumn leaves are progressing steadily
08:58 Tokuko: Thinking about what to wear every day is troublesome! I can't wait for the season when I can just wear a sweater.
08:59 Meri: Please come to Kyoto wearing a sweater. You can get it from the sweater club, right?
08:59 Tokuko: Yes! That's all I'm looking forward to and I'm doing my best every time.
09:00 Meri: You did both well this time too.
09:00 Tokuko: I would appreciate it if you could say that.
09:01 Tokuko: Lately, I prefer things that are easy to wear rather than knitted fabrics or elaborate knitting methods.
09:01 Tokuko: I stuck to it.
09:02 Meri: Mohair looks like it's going to be easy to knit
09:02 Tokuko: I don't know what to do with such thick mohair.
09:03 Meri: No matter how hard you try, you still can't see much
09:03 Tokuko: You can also enjoy the hand-dyed atmosphere.
09:03 Meri: Really. Yawza's jacket is full of discerning details. Both were hand dyed this time!
09:04 Tokuko: That's right. With zippers, collars and pockets, it's full of things to do.
09:05 Meri: Sounds like fun! There must be many firsts
09:05 Tokuko: I see. I think that even people who are doing English patterns will come up with various ways to do it for the first time.
09:06 Meri: How long is the sweater club?
09:07 Tokuko: Until next Monday, the 18th.
09:08 Tokuko: I always get an e-mail after the sale ends, so don't forget to place your order!

09:46: Tokuko The pattern is good, but I think the reading was good.
09:47: Meri Thank you.
09:47: Tokuko Meri-san, you're so empty, aren't you?
09:48: Meri Thinking about it, I've already made 19 books. I'm sure you're working on the 21st book.
09:48: Meri Of course I still have ideas, but I need to charge something
09:49: Tokuko That's right. I'm thinking about that too.
09:49: Tokuko Go to exhibitions and read books. I need to touch other people's thoughts.
09:49: Meri It's a lot easier now that it's twice a year
09:50: Tokuko You did well. I wonder if it was still young!
09:50: Meri Oh yeah. I haven't had much free time for the last three years, so I haven't been able to charge it.
09:51: Tokuko But I think twice is good. I can do other things.
09:52: Meri Yes. I think it's a good balance now.
09:52: Tokuko Well, pattern work for No. 20 will start next month. Let's do our best next time.
09:53: Meri, I hope it will be a good issue again

08:57 Tokuko: I just hope the typhoon won't come again.
08:57 Meri: It rained a lot in Kyoto, but the wind wasn't too bad. Compared to last year's typhoon.
08:57 Meri: Really. When I think of the effects of global warming, I can't help but look back on my life.

09:02 Tokuko: Sparkling!
09:02 Meri: Really!
09:02 Meri: Our job is to meet people, so we spent the whole day chatting around the booths.
09:03 Tokuko: You must have seen amirisu's Instagram.
09:03 Tokuko: Of course, I also bought a lot of thread.
