I was a macrame beginner, but...

This is an introduction to the knitting lessons held at the Tokyo store!

Hello.

Many people have purchased the Shawl KAL kit that started selling on Saturday. thank you very much!
Artistincto shawl KAL kit sold out really quickly, sorry. There are still a few Artistincto yarns in the Kyoto store (for example, the ones that could not be used at Shawl KAL due to the length), so please come and visit us.

Well, today is the third styling introduction.
Kyoto store staff Tomo tried on Asagi.
This time, I changed my taste and took pictures outside.

She is 153cm tall, thin, and similar in stature to Tokuko. skirt school.
After all, if you wear S size, it will be a little too much.
When paired with a voluminous long skirt, it feels good around the stomach.

It was a windy day, so I was able to wear it coolly.
Come to think of it, even in the rainy season, there are sometimes cold days, so I think there are many opportunities to play an active role...

Summer Shawl KAL starts today!

KAL is a knitting event called Knitting Along. We all knit the same pattern and proceed with knitting while sharing information. It is an event where everyone can enjoy knitting, which tends to be "alone", by being encouraged by seeing how other people are progressing, teaching what they don't understand.

This time, we will sell a kit for Shawl KAL.
A set of amirisu recommended threads and patterns. There are two types of patterns: a standard shawl and a circular shawl.

First, the standard shawl kit.

The texture is very good, and the book...

The sunshine is getting brighter and it seems to be early summer! I was thinking,

In the daytime, the sunshine continues like summer.
For the May workshop (@Kyoto store), we decided on items that are typical of early summer.

We have prepared both stick knitting and crochet knitting. Please come and visit us.

Needle Knitting Workshop: Footie Socks

This is a sock knitting workshop that was held earlier at the Tokyo store and was well received.
I chose Footie Socks, which are perfect for the coming season, from the "book of socks knitted with popular Ravelry patterns". It is a foot cover type sock on the cover.
Since it is knitted with silk blend Tern, it is also good for summer indoor wear as a countermeasure against air conditioning.
