All of the articles featured bags, pouches, and other pouch-related works, except for "Everyday Children's Knits." The clutch bag decorated with Eco Andaria's pineapple pattern has been knitted by many people, and I was happy every time I saw it on social media.

"Everyday Children's Knitwear" (Vogue Japan)
I created four items using Hamanaka's Luna Mall yarn, which is incredibly soft to the touch and is sure to be a hit with children. The four items are the bear hat on the cover, a hooded scarf that combines a cat hat and scarf, and room shoes in both adult and child sizes.
There were lots of cute knitted clothing designs in it.

"Everyday bags and accessories made with extra-thick yarn" (Asahi Shimbun Publications)
Three of my works have been published in this cute book.
The pieces were knitted using Hamanaka's extra thick yarn "Donut" and consist of one bag and two hats.
Bags with woven patterns can be woven quickly using thick yarn, so you can use them right away.

"Going out bags and household items" (Nitto Shoin Head Office)
This book features works knitted with Hamanaka's new yarn "Donut." Three items are featured: a bag, a pouch, and a headband. The yarn is thick and easy to knit, yet lightweight.
There are many projects that can be completed in a short amount of time.

"Basket bag woven with hemp string and natural materials" (Vogue Japan)
One of our bags was featured in this book.
This is a 2-way bag with a detachable shoulder strap. The bag has a fabric drawstring at the opening, making it very convenient to use. The yarn is Daruma's SASAWASHI.

"Complete in One Day! Best Selection of Hemp Rope Bags" (Tatsumi Publishing)
This book is a compilation of works selected from a previously published book on hemp string bags. It is quite voluminous, with 60 works featured.
Five of my works were featured, and the works in the center of the cover and bottom right are two of the five.
Please use this as a reference when knitting a hemp string bag.

"Eco Andaria Bags: Dress Your Way" (Asahi Shimbun Publications)
Following on from last year, this is a wonderful book with a mature feel.
Two of my bags are featured in this book. I love both of them.
This is a gold and silver bag from Eco Andaria.
There are many types of raffia-like yarn, but the metallic colors are unique to Eco Andaria.

"Eco Andaria bags and hats you'll want to use every day" (Boutique Publishing)
Here we have featured a fedora knitted using Eco Andaria (kasuri dyeing).
There are two sizes available, one for adults and one for children, so it's great for parents and children to enjoy together!

"Knitting Round Bags and Square Bags with Hemp String" (Asahi Shimbun Publications)
This book features one of Komakoma's round shoulder bags.
I liked the photo of the model holding a bag full of French bread.
