Rovings & Yarns: Fun with Kokeshi
http://textiletravel.blogspot.com/2011/03/for-better-or-worse-japan-has-been-much.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. For better or worse, Japan has been much in the news lately, raising the profile of Japanese culture here in the U.S. as we look for ways to respond to the country's plight and help its citizens. I've always been fascinated by Japanese Kokeshi dolls, but never was much interested in the Amigurumi craze. Which seems to be going strong in the crochet world, as evidenced by the activity in Ravelry's Amigurumi groups. Bigu's Instructions in Spanglish are here. Where we get to indulge.

ABW is working on developing an annotated links page that only contains currently active links related to the fiber arts. This will grow slowly as button creation takes precedence!
