Hi, here I go again with some new necklaces!

I want to buy a couple of japanese crochet book on ebay, do you have any title to suggest? 
Just a last question, are the patterns easy to read and follow even for a "non-japanese" reader?

I wanted to try a ripple pattern, and since a girl never own enough bags I thought this bag may be the best choice, I guess the bag is easy and fun to crochet, the hard part will be the lining, to keep it in shape, anybody interested?



the pattern is here: http://littlegreen.typepad.com/romansock/tutorial-the-munro-bag.html

This is my first attempt with buttons, I made it yesterday, I'm pretty please with it.



This is the second one, I  made it today, a present, I used a chain that helped me to save a lot of buttons:-)))) using buttons for the back of the neck is a waste of precious vintage stuff!

Hi there! I recently purchased on ebay some vintage plastic flowers like this



anybody knows a good tutorial, or also a so so one, on how to use them! I guess I'm  becoming a bit lazy...

Last week was a massive crochet one! I made this easy as pie cap from a pattern I purchase on etsy, I love it and it seems everybody want me to make them one, the list is long: one for my mom, for my friend sara... I will be busy next week too! LOL
Oh the button is from my vintage buttons collection!

I'd love to make a hat similar to this, anybody knows this stitch?http://www.monicaburnetthats.com/sitebuilder/images/avery-188x170.jpg

I want to start this project but I found in my LYS a cool cotton yarn a bit thinner then the one suggested in the book (110m instead of 85m), I work it with a 3 mm,  how should I increase the 202 fnd ch without making a mess???

Please help!!!
