Chibi, katcha-katcha, maneki-neko

  Another yellow package in the mail! I love my packages from Japan. I am still without camera (and will be for a while), but I was able to scan the content. :)

This time my SP sent me a very handy Chibi, a set of darning needles with their transparent container and closure in the shape of a pen cap, so I can hang it from a pocket. So far, I've been disseminating my yarn needles throughout the house. I usually pin them to a knitted swatch and lose the swatch. This is mucho much better.

The second thing is a katcha-katcha, a knitting counter by Clover. I'd never seen one like this. It has two wheels for counting tens and units manually, but you can also push in the top and it counts automatically. And it has a lock at the bottom. Perfect for Fair Isle and cable knitting. I love gadgets!

The third thing is a cute maneki-neko that I have to find a good place for. Maybe on my big postcard board.

SP-san, once again ありがとうございました!
