WOW! Funny you mention this adorable book on your blog! I bought my copy off eBay from a seller in Japan, after seeing it on eBay and finding that the kitty(s) in the book look just like my 2 older sons when they sleep! See pages 26 & 27– the red and blue kitties… thats exactly how those two boys of mine sleep,
Haent gotten around to making them yet… and I too wish there was an English translation for the text. My brother studied Japanese one semester on college and claims to have a good command of the language.. maybe he can tell me whats going on in some of the skits in the book.

I also have the Creepy Cute Crochet. It’s part of the making gifts for others montage! It’s a good thing I don’t live in NYC, because I would be at Kinokuniya all the time! It’s such a dangerous place!

I wish I could find the photos from the inside of the book on the web somewhere—they’re really charming.

Using the online pattern, I made that cat many months ago using a strange multi-colored pastel yarn with netting over it–never realized there was a whole book about the kitty. How cute! It’s fun to crochet and very poseable. Put a small cloth bag of plastic pellets in the four paws if you can–it helps with posing. (I filled the whole torso with them, too, but that’s overkill!)
