April 12, 2018
08:46 Meri: I'm on my way home from daycare now
08:47 Tokuko: See you later. nice weather
08:53 Meri: Really. Sunglasses were dispatched for the first time.
08:53 Meri: I'm tired
08:54 Tokuko: Let's say Yoshi for exercising
08:55 Meri: 40 minutes round trip, good exercise
08:56 Tokuko: Watch out for sunburn!
08:56 Meri: I put sunscreen on, but I feel like I'm sweating. I can't take my mind off it anymore
08:57 Tokuko: Well, everyone, it must have been a busy start to the year.
08:58 Tokuko: Our company had nothing to do with it, though.
08:58 Meri: Right. It's been a long time since the beginning of the year
08:59 Tokuko: Lots of new threads and kits starting today!
09:02 Meri: Right. I only know one
09:02 Meri: what
09:02 Tokuko: Reassemble the shawl. Also, like Helga.
09:03 Meri: Oh yeah! The one I picked a color about 2 months ago
09:03 Tokuko: Working hard behind the scenes for this week and next week.
09:04 Meri: I'm preparing a lot.
09:06 Tokuko: Look forward to it!
Purchase status in April
April 04, 2018
08:49 Tokuko: Good morning. It's hot already.
08:52 Meri: Right.
08:52 Meri: I had a hard time walking because I have low blood pressure.
08:54 Tokuko: I don't know if low blood pressure is related. It must be getting hotter and tougher to pick up and drop off.
08:56 Meri: I felt like my head wasn't getting enough blood as I walked. But it's really hot. Linen soon
08:57 Tokuko: I'd start with Kestrel. Thick linen type. There should be quite a few in the Tokyo store.
09:00 Meri: Right. After that, cotton and linen blend threads enter one after another.
09:01 Tokuko: Luft will be back in stock this week.
09:02 Meri: Fun! New colors are coming
09:03 Tokuko: Oh yeah! There it is. The kit is now in preparation.
09:04 Meri: And after that, amirisu original thread 2nd! And WalkCollection Linea.
09:04 Meri: Both in April.
09:05 Tokuko: I think we can go in April. looking forward to!
09:05 Meri: It's time to start planning your spring/summer knitting!
About Piper
March 29, 2018
08:45 Meri: good morning
08:46 Tokuko: Since yesterday morning, the Nara Line was almost full. It's finally here, this season.
08:50 Meri: Kyoto is already amazing.
08:50 Meri: It's wedding shooting season
08:51 Tokuko: Huh? I did not know.
08:52 Meri: It seems popular to take pictures under the cherry blossom trees. people from different countries.
08:52 Tokuko: You're so excited to come to Japan and shoot. I'm impressed.
08:53 Tokuko: I can't do that.
08:56 Meri: It's normal to do it already
08:57 Tokuko: Good thing the wedding is over...
08:57 Meri: What about Piper's collection today?
08:58 Tokuko: Right. On sale at the online shop from yesterday!
08:59 Meri: I picked some of my favorite Piper patterns from the past
08:59 Tokuko: Guys, it looks like it's going to be a usable piece.
09:00 Meri: It's very light, so I think it's good to carry around even in summer to avoid air conditioning.
09:01 Meri: It's cold in the office
09:01 Tokuko: Piper is half mohair and half wool, but I think you can knit with the feeling of wool.
09:02 Tokuko: Even those who are not good at mohair knitting should be fine.
09:02 Meri: yeah it won't get tangled
09:03 Tokuko: But it's a good thread that lets you enjoy the lightness and softness of mohair!
09:03 Meri: The colors are cute too.
09:04 Meri: Check out the kit!
09:04 Tokuko: The exhibition will start at the Tokyo store, so please come and see the actual product. Starting tomorrow!
knit cafe
March 27, 2018
09:00 Meri: Knit cafe today
09:00 Tokuko: Yes. From 14:00.
09:02 Meri: The number of people in Kyoto has increased a little recently.
09:02 Tokuko: It's a reservation system, but if there's space on the day, you can participate.
09:03 Meri: I'm sure there's still room
09:03 Tokuko: Should be free. I usually do it on the Tuesday of the 4th week.
09:04 Meri: precious knitting time
09:04 Tokuko: Ms. Meri. I think I did it when I was busy with work knitting.
09:05 Meri: I hope we can do Tokyo again
09:07 Tokuko: Yeah. Tokyo fills up pretty quickly.
09:07 Meri: Plan for supporters too!
09:08 Tokuko: Oh yeah. I was asked to do that.
09:08 Meri: Right
09:08 Tokuko: I have to schedule it.
09:09 Meri: Nice to meet you
09:10 Tokuko: Let's decide today. If you don't secure it quickly, the date will disappear quickly. I'll do it.
Cherry-blossom viewing
March 24, 2018
08:46 Tokuko: I got on the train
08:55 Meri: Good morning!
08:56 Tokuko: It's pretty cold today too. It looks like it's going to be warm from next week.
08:58 Meri: The cherry blossoms have already started to bloom. The flowering declaration was yesterday, but the Takase riverside started blooming a few days ago.
08:59 Tokuko: I wonder if they'll be here when they're in full bloom this time.
08:59 Meri: I think there is. I want to see cherry blossoms this year
09:00 Tokuko: Oh, nice. I've never done it before, come to think of it.
09:01 Meri: No. Where would you go if you want to bring something like mats?
09:02 Tokuko: Everywhere in Kyoto seems to be crowded.
09:03 Meri: Not many people come here just to see the cherry blossoms, do they?
09:04 Tokuko: Wouldn't it be nice to knit together while enjoying the cherry blossoms?
09:04 Meri: Nice!
09:04 Tokuko: I'm sure you'll get noticed, but that's okay.
09:04 Tokuko: Let's make a plan now.
09:05 Meri: All right.
the rain has stopped
March 22, 2018
08:48 Tokuko: The rain has stopped. I didn't bring an umbrella.
08:49 Meri: My husband will be transferred from today. I was reminded of the fact that the closer I got, the less time I had.
08:50 Tokuko: Ah! That's it! I don't know if I should say sorry, but I do.
08:50 Meri: Somewhat.
08:51 Tokuko: You'll get used to it again.
08:51 Meri: Morning time... Knitting time seems to decrease
08:54 Tokuko: March is the season of change for everyone. I don't change anything.
08:55 Meri: I'm glad I didn't have to relocate
08:55 Tokuko: Oh, yes. I decided to go to the gym, ahem.
08:55 Meri: It has nothing to do with March, but okay
08:56 Tokuko: See, it's the season to start something new.
08:56 Meri: Finally. But once you start, it seems like it will continue
08:57 Tokuko: I paid the annual fee. I think it will probably continue. If that's the case.
08:58 Meri: I guess morning
08:59 Tokuko: Just do it.
09:01 Meri: I'll look for a place to go around 8:00. It's the turn of the season, so don't catch a cold!
Tern Week
March 20, 2018
09:02 Tokuko: Yes. I plan to release a kit.
09:02 Meri: This is the most popular yarn this time of year.
09:02 Tokuko: It's really cold today, but it's already spring knitting, so Tern is perfect.
09:03 Meri: The color is light because it contains silk, so it has a spring tone.
09:04 Tokuko: It's nice to have a refreshing texture.
09:05 Meri: Yes. We have a lot of stock this year, so we plan to sell kits.
09:05 Tokuko: You can wear it until June, so even if you start knitting now, you can make it in time!
09:06 Meri: Yeah. Easy to knit
09:07 Tokuko: Yes, it's a recommended point to knit like wool.
09:07 Meri: Speaking of Tern, the sock book cover is also Tern. It's sold out, but there must be many people who have the book
09:08 Tokuko: Nostalgic. Those socks really don't come off, so that's good.
09:09 Meri: That's right. I just knit.
09:09 Tokuko: No, I just wore it as a model! Structurally well done.
09:10 Meri: It's designed to fit.
09:10 Meri: So enjoy Tern!
cherry blossoms bloomed
March 17, 2018
09:28 Meri: Really? So I put on my sweater. It looks like it will be cold again next week
09:30 Tokuko: Our bonsai cherry blossoms have bloomed quite a bit. The one near the company is almost in full bloom.
09:30 Meri: Yes. You were early!
09:31 Tokuko: That's the kind.
09:32 Meri: It's not someiyoshino. the color is dark
09:34 Tokuko: Two shawl kits are coming out today.
09:34 Meri: Yes.
09:34 Tokuko: I did that job yesterday. I.
09:35 Meri: what kit
09:37 Tokuko: Striped one and Knitting for olive one.
09:37 Tokuko: Samples have arrived! It's cute.
09:37 Meri: Oh yeah. I'm looking forward to it
09:38 Meri: I chose the pattern and the colors a long time ago
09:39 Tokuko: I always work ahead.
09:39 Meri: I prefer magazines now...
09:40 Tokuko: That's right. We are going to get most of our work done today so that we have time for next week.
09:40 Meri: I'll do my best

March 15, 2018
09:50 Tokuko: I'm going to Starbucks now, so wait a minute.
09:54 Tokuko: Yes please. I went to work without a coat today.
09:55 Tokuko: Yesterday's shoot was warm too.
09:56 Meri: Arrived at the station. I've been wearing a coat light guy
09:57 Tokuko: It was the 16th issue, right? Finished safely for the time being. good job for today.
09:57 Meri: Not yet
09:58 Meri: Almost done though
09:58 Meri: Tokuko-san is in charge of feeding everyone and cheering them up.
09:59 Tokuko: Yes. Then iron and encourage the model.
09:59 Meri: Oh yeah. It's done!
10:00 Tokuko: I'll leave it to you. I am also entering the final confirmation of the pattern from today.
10:00 Meri: I really wonder what happens every time, but I always get good pictures
10:01 Meri: It's long from here
10:01 Tokuko: That's long. Presbyopia is likely to progress again.
10:07 Meri: I'd like to have some slack so I don't strain my eyes too much
10:08 Tokuko: Good luck.
coffee morning
March 15, 2018
09:19 Meri : Sorry, I didn't realize it late because I was charging my phone in the bedroom
09:20 Meri : One of the iPhone cables at home was bitten by an infant and was damaged, and I couldn't charge it in the living room.
09:21 Tokuko : You were still the same as a cat. It is important to hide the cables anyway.
09:22 Meri : Every morning, when my husband leaves the bed, I jump up and rush to the cable.
09:23 Tokuko : Do you like cables that much? You have to hide it until you forget the fun.
09:24 Meri : Yes.
09:24 Meri : I started this morning with coffee from Fifteen Coffee Roaster . I am happy to be able to handle
09:25 Tokuko : The next step is to expand into coffee.
09:25 Meri : Long-awaited!
09:26 Tokuko : We've been talking about this for quite some time. Ever since I started the shop.
09:26 Meri : You want to sell coffee, right?
09:27 Tokuko : I like coffee, anyway. It's painful if you don't drink tea or coffee every day.
09:28 Meri : Tokuko may not buy coffee because her husband brings super delicious coffee, but we buy beans every time we discover a new cafe. I drank most of the famous things in Kyoto.
09:29 Tokuko : I'm drinking coffee in a strange environment. My freezer is in big trouble.
09:29 Meri : That's right! I look forward to getting it from time to time!
09:29 Meri : I've always wanted to sell coffee beans from Kyoto. Of course, there are things I like about Kyoto, but Fifteen in Takatsuki has a particular atmosphere.
09:30 Tokuko : The shop was very nice! I thought it must be delicious.
09:31 Meri : Lonely in a real residential area.
09:32 Tokuko : Huh, that's right. Let's go next time.
09:32 Meri : It's roasted every day, and the balance is very good.
09:32 Tokuko : I wonder if the sale can be done this week.
09:32 Meri : WALNUT will be selling beans and single serving packs.
09:33 Meri : I want to do it today. How about.
09:33 Tokuko : I'll be in Tokyo again tomorrow.
09:34 Meri : Hey. Friday night knit cafe, I wonder if anyone will come
09:34 Tokuko : I already know some of them! The shop is also open on Friday night, so please come by.
09:34 Meri : Hope to see you soon

08:53 Tokuko: So you're working from home today.
08:54 Meri: No, I'm off work
08:54 Meri: I can go anyway
08:55 Meri: I just can't get Laine's commentary podcast

09:02 Meri: It's already spring. I wonder if it's time for spring.
09:03 Tokuko: Good luck to those with hay fever!
frostbite
February 24, 2018
08:50 Tokuko: I don't know if it's cold or warm every day, so I'm at a loss for what to wear.
08:50 Meri: It was cold yesterday. If you think it's cold, you must be right.
08:51 Tokuko: The shops in Kyoto are old buildings, so it can be colder than outside.
08:52 Meri: Yes. company is cold
08:53 Tokuko: This year, I've had frostbite on my leg and it's healed.
08:53 Meri: Oh my god, did you make it yet? I forgot that.
08:53 Tokuko: You look like a child.
08:54 Meri: There's one thing I've been able to do since I grew up. you're surprised
08:54 Tokuko: That's why I think I should exercise. The blood must not have reached the extremities.
08:55 Meri: Sure. It's good to train your muscles. I think it's a good fit.
08:55 Tokuko: When I used to play the oboe, I was using my body because it overworked my lung function.
08:56 Tokuko: nothing now...
08:57 Meri: I have to do something. I finally gave up on using a baby carrier, so I have to exercise.
08:57 Meri: It's too heavy and hurt my hip
08:57 Tokuko: Should I go to that Karasuma Shijo gym?
08:58 Meri: Yes. I have no choice but to go to lunch for work
08:59 Tokuko: Maintenance is also part of your job. I still have to work!
08:59 Meri: Let's do our best today!
