Smugness

Go on, let me be smug for a bit :)

My eBay purchase from Japan arrived today. It wasn't glowing so I opened it.

Motif Book Vol. 4

Apart form the odd number or measurement here and there it's all in Japanese.

It's very pretty.

I've never crocheted from a diagram pattern before, even with English text somewhere nearby, nevermind Japanese.

This is my first go, and my second go is tucked under the book.

And now I am all done being smug :)
