the first time in English, 250 Japanese Knitting Stitches by Hitomi
Shida follows the author's Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible…Gayle
Roehm, a knitting instructor who focuses on Japanese patterns,
translated the text in both books; the stitch diagrams, however,
use symbols only and require no knowledge of Japanese."

translation opens up a world of Japanese knitting charts to English
speakers." —Library Journal

project into a one of a kind creation. It is used quite often in
the elaborate stitch patterns described in the book 250 Japanese
Knitting Stitches by Hitomi Shida." —10 Rows a Day blog
