Japanese for Crafters

My sister, the sewing whiz over at Crafting a Rainbow, is ramping up for a Japanese for Crafters series of blog posts.

Japanese for Crafters

I don’t know exactly what she has planned, but it promises to be good stuff. After all, she taught in Japan for about five years in all, so she has both the language skills AND the craft skills to rock this.

I’m willing to bet that knitters know at least a little bit of Japanese — more than we think, anyway. For example, that fab colour-shifting Noro Kureyon? “Ku-rey-on.” Crayon. (It truly is just a syllabic spelling of the English word.)

Anyway,  hop on over and have a look at what else “Ji-ri-an” (Gillian) has to teach us!
