Since June 2006, We (Mako&Hide) are staying in Troy, NY U.S.A as a visiting researcher at Rensselaer Polytechinic Institute (RPI). During our stay, we enjoy American life style, nature and many crafts.
I learned American knitting at BeauKnits, Ltd. in Cohoes, NY. I made lots of wonderful friends through this yarn shop. I owe my success in knitting and American life to BeauKnits owner, Barbara and her partner, Pat. I enjoyed American Knitting very much. Through knitting, people join each other, who are going different path.. So, I am interested in knitting in the world.
In this site, we will write our hobby, crafts, knitting, spinning, weaving, travel records and show many pictures. Also, we want to communicate with many people living outside Japan.
