February 20, 2019
09:50 Tokuko: The warmth of spring today. The season is coming when you are wondering what to wear every day.
09:50 Meri: When I went out wearing a thin jacket and scarf this morning, I didn't need a scarf!
09:51 Tokuko: It's pretty warm during the day. surely.
09:52 Meri: Starting today. Hooray! Yesterday was also Tuesday morning, but it wasn't cold at the company.
09:53 Tokuko: Spring is finally coming to Kyoto. I'm working on wool even in spring.
09:53 Tokuko: Right now we're working on magazines and preparing for the Yarn Club.
09:54 Meri: Will the yarn club be ready for sale soon?
09:55 Tokuko: This year's project is quite wonderful.
09:55 Meri: Collaboration of 3 brands and 3 designers
09:57 Meri: This time we asked outside designers
09:56 Tokuko: The pattern was a bonus the first time.
09:58 Tokuko: Everyone is looking forward to the attached pattern, isn't it?
09:59 Meri: Last time, I designed it to match the yarn.
09:59 Meri: But this time it looks like the design will make even more use of the quality of the yarn.
10:01 Tokuko: Oh yeah.
10:01 Tokuko: Yarn is good too.
10:01 Meri: All limited colors!
10:02 Tokuko: I can only buy it at home.
10:02 Tokuko: Both of us are ready to take it.
10:03 Meri: Because it's cool.
10:03 Meri: Stay tuned for the sale!
Is it spring soon?
February 07, 2019
11:27 Tokuko: Thank you for waiting
11:28 Tokuko: Nagoya right now.
11:29 Meri: It's been a while. I am working from home today.
11:30 Tokuko: Like recording a podcast.
11:31 Meri: Oh yeah. The good thing about our work is that we can do it anywhere, except for meetings with everyone and work that looks at the yarn and thinks about it.
11:33 Tokuko: I've been working in front of a computer for the first time in a while these past few days, so my eyes are really tired.
11:33 Meri: Me too!
11:34 Tokuko: After all, not using it is the best thing for your eyes.
11:35 Meri: My chiropractor also told me that cervical misalignment can be corrected over and over again if you're a PC user. Well, I guess there is also an attitude.
11:36 Tokuko: It can't be helped. That's all.
11:36 Meri: It's a problem everyone has.
11:37 Tokuko: Tokyo seems to be sunny today. It was really difficult to make a bag.
11:38 Meri: It's warm here too, I made a mistake wearing a coat to daycare
11:39 Meri: I can't believe it's going to be cold tomorrow
11:40 Tokuko: Really! We are also preparing for spring wool.
11:40 Meri: You're busy with that right now. I'm already putting all my effort into preparations for spring.
11:41 Tokuko: I'm thinking of checking out the customary clothing stores on this business trip.
11:42 Meri: Please, please. I don't have time and I can't do it myself, so I'm expecting it.
11:42 Tokuko: Just hope it doesn't snow on Saturday!
11:44 Meri: I hope it doesn't rain. But I don't know. Everyone please stay warm.
Go for it, Nishikori!
January 17, 2019
08:53 Meri: I'm finally leaving
08:53 Tokuko: Thank you for your hard work.
08:55 Meri: You seem to think it's normal to stay at home because you've been on vacation for a long time
08:56 Tokuko: Habits are important, aren't they? Even adults don't like working after holidays.
08:57 Meri: I'm wondering if this is a slacking habit
08:57 Tokuko: I finished knitting the second body part of Sweater Club yesterday.
08:58 Meri: Just a little bit more
08:58 Tokuko: I was repeatedly putting on and taking off by myself. The idea I had in mind worked well.
08:58 Meri: It's fun
08:59 Tokuko: My husband is already used to this fitting that suddenly starts.
08:59 Tokuko: No comments when I started.
09:00 Meri: Right. 20 years indeed
09:00 Tokuko: I think it's a pretty funny picture.
09:01 Tokuko: Wearing unfinished things with threads, mumbling in front of the mirror and taking pictures.
09:01 Meri: Well.
09:02 Meri: Today is Nishikori's match
09:02 Meri: Sorry to miss you
09:02 Tokuko: I'm totally addicted to it.
09:03 Meri: No, I don't usually watch it, but when I start watching it, it's interesting and I'm rooting for Nishikori
09:03 Tokuko: Hope we're winning until we're in Australia!
09:03 Meri: Hey!
09:02 Meri: Instagram live after 10:00.
09:04 Tokuko: It's been a while since we did an Instagram live. We have a lot of new products, so I'm going to introduce you to them!
09:04 Meri: Stay tuned!
Happy New Year!

09:51 Tokuko: Didn't you move or renovate?
09:51 Meri: There! it was
09:51 Tokuko: I don't want to move this year, but I'm disappointed because I'm moving.
09:52 Meri: It's almost here. after a long time.
09:52 Tokuko: It's better than the store, though.
09:53 Meri: This year is already full of plans
09:53 Tokuko: Three overseas business trips have already been decided.
09:54 Meri: Hi.
09:54 Tokuko: I hate looking at the yearly calendar, I don't have time! I think.

09:55 Tokuko: This year will end at a frightening speed.
09:56 Meri: We have a lot of fun knitting projects.

09:58 Meri: I did my best again this year. It will be shipped sequentially from this week.

09:06 Meri: I think this year will be pretty good too. But you may not be able to put in your clothes
09:07 Tokuko How many can we make this year? You can't decide until you collect them.
09:07 Meri: Oh yeah. And every year, I'm doing my best to make as much as I can.
09:08 This is Meri Tokuko's last job at the end of the year. Every year, I put all my strength into my journey.

after the fair
December 04, 2018
09:13 Tokuko: On the weekend, the Kyoto store was extremely hot, with a group from Australia and eri and Ririko visiting.
09:14 Meri: I think it was about 30 at one point. It was a big crowd.
09:14 Meri: Thank you to everyone who came!
09:14 Tokuko: A video of the conversation with the two designers will be available later for a fee, so please look forward to it!
09:15 Meri: That was fun
09:15 Tokuko: The dinner afterwards was pretty lively, too.
09:16 Tokuko: I ended up staying until after 9:00. there.
09:16 Meri: Each designer has a lot of troubles.
09:16 Meri: I got home around 8:30.
09:17 Tokuko: We don't have many opportunities to talk about such things. It's a professional matter.
09:18 Meri: Oh yeah. Come to think of it, it's interesting that it all started with Ravelry.
09:18 Tokuko: Ririko, especially since you've been on Ravelry since the same time as us.
09:18 Tokuko: It was nostalgic
09:19 Meri: We've known each other since the early days of amirisu. I'm happy to be active now
09:20 Tokuko: Please watch the video for a detailed story. It will be up by the end of this week!
