Its always a good day when a package arrives in the mail. Especially when it involves yarn and goodies. I received my package from my Mystery Swap Partner, Tiffany, who chose "Japan" as her theme. Being that she lives in Japan, she had a head start.
There is a great book of knitting stitches. Its written in Japanese, but they chart everything so I should be able to figure everything out pretty easily.
The yarn reminds me of green tea ice cream. Not sure what I will make from it yet.
And the dpns! I have never seen dpns this long! (See quarter for comparison) I told Bob I could knit socks for Bigfoot now if I had to.

What a fun package! The book has me curious...
Those knitting needles are one of my favorite finds here in Japan... smooth needles in all different sizes for 100 yen (about $1). I just got different sizes (because you never know when you will need size 13 DPNs) and usually I use them to make hats, or will use just two of them for a small project (dishcloths or whatever I feel like). I hope you are able to find some sort of use for them.
And the book is VERY easy to use. If you can read a knitting chart, then you can use those. I love those Japanese stitch guides.
Enjoy!
