Claire, have you tried using the google translate app to translate the Japanese crochet pattern? Maybe the terminology just doesn't translate, but I got the app on my phone to translate a Blythe sewing pattern book from Chinese and it did a good enough job that I could follow the pattern. I give you lots of praise for crocheting for Blythe though, I had a pattern for something to crochet for Blythe (maybe a hat) and I gave up because I can't use those teeny hooks!
@ClaireWhoMakesThingsКүн бұрын
@@jessnurse05 Thank you for the advice. I have tried google translate, but I’ve had no success with the yarn choice, however the hats are getting better with each go. I will try another garment in the book soon. I will report my results in next stitch diary.

All your gnomes are so cute!! I’d need a crochet pattern, I just don’t know how to knit in the round lol. Yay for monthly stitch diaries 😊. I love the fact you always make something for burns night. I’ve bought a little mouse pattern recently after my brother in law brought one home from Norway, I’m going to try and recreate it myself xx

Oh Karen, I would love to see the mouse that your brother in law bought home from Norway and I would love to see the pattern you bought. I’ve made loads of fabric mice and knitted mice.

Hi enjoyed your podcast. I have tulip crochet hooks they are Japanese hook. On the hook it say 4/0 2.5mm 5/0 3.0mm so I think it could be the sizes hook your looking for, for your hat hope that helps.

Thank you for the suggestion Christine, in the dressmaking world, I’ve seen the term vent for a spilt at the bottom back of a suit jacket. I’ve done a bit of research, since the video and I’ve seen this sort of thing on a trench coat, and they call it a coat back flap/yoke flap. I will still continue my research.

You know I was going back-and-forth with the dolls because over the last year I purchased quite a few dolls and like you I need to rea l that in (i am fairly new to blythe collecting probably hoing on my third year i think) and I don't really tend to like the goth dolls although they do have cool outfits. I like the fair skin, light colored or fantasy hair, but I also have a few brunette girls with They're stunning so I always go with the light skin dolls though and then well I do have 1 tan girl which I love but once I saw a few of the videos I realized I have to have Lavandula so I ordered her after I ordered Kita i think the back vent is the long vertical slit for extra space in walking movement in trench coats. The storm shield is the extra fabric on a coat
