This is the kind of crochet project I made. I'm sure many crochet enthusiasts have used Hooked Zpagetti. The other day, I stopped by a craft store and fell in love with a Zpagetti in a soft, fluorescent pink color, so I bought a small, cute roll to take home. Discovering these kinds of things is one of the joys of visiting a craft store.

When winter comes, there's a sweet I want to go out and buy. There's a long-established confectionery shop called "Senshu-an" that's well-known to all Hokkaido residents. They have a classic product called "Northman," a pie crust filled with sweet bean paste. It's absolutely delicious. Furthermore, there's a seasonal flavor of that Norseman, a type filled with chocolate bean paste...

Are classifications like "medium-fine" and "medium-weight" used overseas? When knitting while looking at a knitting pattern or recipe, the first thing you check is the yarn information. In Japan, terms like "medium-fine," "medium-weight," and "extra-weight" are commonly used to refer to yarn thickness. Even for yarns without such specifications, you can determine "this is medium-weight" based on the needle size listed on the band...

I've been updating my "Crochet with Hokkaido Sweets" series quite frequently lately, but perhaps I'm using this as an excuse to buy another snack! It's a small, manju-sized bun, but with an irresistible name: "Tsukisamu Anpan." Isn't it cute when you think of it as an anpan? This is another Hokkaido sweet that's been around for a long time. And, as of the last time...

When I return to my hometown, I often find items in the supermarket that I never knew were sold anywhere else. This is one of them. Even when I'm in Tokyo, I sometimes wonder why I never see kibi dango, but for those of you who don't live in Hokkaido, do you know about this? This is a familiar item to Hokkaido natives, but it's also sold in supermarkets...

December 5, 2021: Paid Crochet Pattern "Pleated Mask Cover" UP! The crochet pattern for the "Pleated Mask Cover" has been uploaded to the Ronique Store's "Wearables" section. This pleated mask cover covers the nose. The simple edging makes it easy to adjust the size.

Crochet your way through spring cleaning. If you're diligent about cleaning every day, your end-of-year cleaning might be a breeze. But there are still some areas that are difficult to reach, like dirt on the ventilation fan or screen door. When you're trying to remove tough stains, you might wonder if there's any detergent left, or if you need more...

This video explains how to crochet the herringbone double stitch, a unique double stitch. Herringbone double stitch adds a slightly uneven texture to the double stitch, creating a subtle look. It's incredibly easy to crochet, so if you watch the video, you'll be able to crochet it smoothly. Ronique also uses the beret featured in her book "Winter Crochet Item" and "Summer Crochet Item"...

This is a crocheted project. I crocheted a duster, a cleaning tool for dusting. The brush can be replaced if the tuft gets dirty. The only crocheted part is the handle, and the tuft is simply finished using a technique similar to making a tassel. You can use thin or thick yarn for the tuft, or a mix of both.

This is a crocheted table mat that will add a little sparkle to your dining table. The sample piece is a little small, but you can adjust the size, so you can knit it further to make it lunch mat size. If you increase the number of cast-on stitches to make it longer, it could also be used as a table liner. It can be used not only as a table mat...
