Japan book

Yesterday, I got wonderful magazines Keito Dama, my friend Marina bought it in YesAsia.com for me. Old issue of Keito Dama cost $18.99 and last issue cost $20.49. Keito Dama is one of the most popular knitting/crocheting magazines in Japan.

Also I received knitting book "New Style of Heirloom Knitting" by Shimada Toshiyuki (ISBN: 4-529-03992-7). The book and designs are very beautiful, photography is very artistic.

I'm very happy!

I adore Debbie Bliss designs! Her designs are so elegant and timeless. I have just nearly finished her Catriona top. I used ogranic yarn Tebe #32016 from Lineapiu Group (2800 m/1000g). Has left about third of bobbin.

I have made a pattern symmetric concerning the central line.
I cast off as centre done sts for the back detail for the neck.
Cast off sts on the shoulder.
