Sock Knitting in Chinese

I found this book with beautiful photos of socks. Looks like I'm still a sock book/袜 书 lover. I might have gotten the words wrong in Chinese. It must be either sock book or book sock. I never know which way round - yet. I have decided since I can knit socks without thinking twice with the right size needles and yarns, I can cope better with this book. I cannot figure out the yarn and needles in the other one yet and also I don't have the yarns and needles I think I need for that book. This book I can deal with. In fact, I had to open it up long after I had bought it to just check if it was in Chinese or English. I quite clearly did not give language a second thought. I don't know whether to blame my enthusiasm or my reading glasses which I did not use at the time.



I also found a book on paper folding. The photos and articles are amazing.


I will have to learn Chinese a bit faster if at all possible. I just love the Chinese books.

For some motivation in learning faster or maybe more efficient I was very brave to get Year 1,2,3 books. The one is English with the Chinese translation of the short stories. The other one is Malay with the Chinese translation of the short stories. I can see why the little Chinese children are forever sitting and reading in the bookshops. Their books are so delightful - even I cannot leave them alone.
