I want to knit a shawl that is perfect for spring!

After a long time, I decided to hold a needle knitting basic course at the Tokyo store. Therefore, I would like to explain the significance and method of the lecture once again from the lecturer Ochiai.

A question I get a lot is, "I just knitted a few sweaters, can you keep up?"
Of course, I won't teach you how to knit, so it's only natural that you should be able to knit the front and back, and it would be a problem if you didn't know how to increase or decrease the number of stitches or the technique of turning back to some extent. I think you should study hard by asking questions. I don't know drafting at all, no problem. A vague understanding of how gauges are calculated is enough. What is a set-in sleeve? It's okay to think.

I can only say one thing. Only your motivation!

The reason why I started this course is because I want to share my skills with everyone in a short time.
As a rationalist, I hate lazy lectures. We will condense and deliver the necessary matters in 6 times.
Therefore, every time the course is held, the faces of all the students are exhausted and at a loss, but as a result of their hard work, they have completed a wonderful sweater in their own size.

I always find it amusing, but when I give information to the students about the applied course after the basic course is over, almost all of them come.
I can't believe I'm going to take the next lecture even though I'm cornered like that every time!
And by the time I finish the application course, I feel sad that there is no future. I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much, but on the other hand, I'm always sorry that there's no more.

Every time I have homework to come up with a design, I have a lot to do. But I'm sure after this course, a new world of knitting will appear again.
If you want to learn technology in a short time, let's study together.

I think everyone knows that the cashless consumer return system has started with the consumption tax being reduced to 10%.
Amirisu can already use this system at the WALNUT Kyoto and Tokyo stores, but we have been trying various things to see if this system can be used at the online shop as well.
However, the system has finally started with PayPal, so I'm excited to introduce it to everyone.

Currently, online shop payments are either bank transfer or PayPal. I often get asked, "Can't I use a credit card?"
PayPal is a system that can be used as a credit card function. PayPal is one of the world's most convenient and secure card payment services, where once you register your card with PayPal, you can buy things with just one click.
Recently, even if you do not have a credit card, if you register your bank account with PayPal, you can use it like a credit card.

If you register with PayPal, you can buy patterns on Ravelry, isn't it? I've also been on PayPal for 10 years to use it on Ravelry.

Currently, if you enter your PayPal account and make a payment when shopping at the amirisu online shop, you will receive a 5% reduction. 5% of your purchase will be returned to your PayPal balance. Well amazing!

Finnish designer Sari Nordlund's Wayne wants to knit!

Tokyo Yarn Crawl has been held in Tokyo for the past few years. This year, our Tokyo store will participate in this event.

TYarn Crawl is a stamp rally around the participating shops, and you can get gifts, limited kits and workshops only for that period.
For more details, please click here.

The period is from 11/16 (Sat) to 11/30 (Sat). The following events are currently scheduled.

・An original project bag will be presented to those who shop during the period. This will end as soon as it is gone.

・Spincycle Yarns Fair Spincycle is very popular all over the world. The online shop always sells out like the wind, but this time we will send all the threads to the Tokyo store for this event!
At the same time, we will exhibit samples using Spincycle, sell kits, and prepare limited kits for this time of year.

Stephen West has designed many attractive shawls. Among them, the one I want to knit now is Exploration Station!
