\"giveaway-lacy-crochet1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I haven’t even closed the other giveaway<\/a> yet, and here I am, back with another one. Just as I had to relinquish all thoughts of engaging in extracurricular embroidery, I’ve had to break down and allow myself to admit that crochet (and knitting in general) is just not my thang.\u00a0I bought this book<\/a> back in 2007 when it first came out. In case you were wondering, “kyuuto” is the way “cute” is pronounced in Japanese. And you know that Japanese crafts are all about the cute. I mean, look at this:<\/p>\n

\"giveaway-lacy-crochet2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Those little booties had me shelling out cash as if my life depended upon it. And then the book sat. And sat and sat and sat and sat and….seven years later, I have yet to crochet a darn loop.<\/p>\n

\"giveaway-lacy-crochet3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had visions of pumping out these charming baskets to hold all of our little tchotchkes.<\/p>\n

\"giveaway-lacy-crochet4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was amused by this little project because c’mon, we all need a crocheted mobile phone holder, right?<\/p>\n

\"giveaway-lacy-crochet5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And these little sachet bags are just the ultimate in granny chic. The book is full of wonderful projects. But I have no plans on becoming well-versed in the art of crochet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh, this is random, but when I thumbed through the book, this fell out:<\/p>\n

\"babyk\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Baby K. So so so cute. She looks so vastly different now. That’s another dress that my mom made. That girl has never known what it’s like to have less than several hundred sartorial options to choose from.<\/p>\n

Anyway. Anyone up for a free kyuuto<\/em> crochet book?<\/p>\n

To enter the giveaway, I was stumped for a question when K asked me, “Mama, if you could have any superpower, what would it be and what would your superhero name be?” Well, that seems like a good one, don’t you think? I told her that I would be Speedra and would be able to get things done at mach speed (or maybe my name should be Machrina?). She was disappointed that I didn’t want the power of flight, but hey, I’ve got things to get done and flying will do me no good.<\/p>\n

What would your super power and hero name be? Would you want invisibility? The ability to time travel? The power to control the weather? So many options! I will leave this giveaway open until next Thursday, September 25th and will announce the winner the next day. All entries welcome, international participants included. Good luck!<\/span><\/p>\n
