I’ve made homemade labels for some of my most recent knitted gifts! I used Grumperina’s tutorial to guide me. Also a BIG thanks to Jen who has helped me alot - thank you thank you thank you! =D
So I made two labels:
Excuse the really sucky handsewing skills, but here is where I’ve sewn on the labels to my projects:
All purty and ready to go! =D

I love your labels, and thanks for the tutorial. This is the coolest thing ever, to be able to make your own labels! I can’t wait to give it a try.

If I can finish my gifts in time, I’m definitely going to make labels too!!! Yours are super cute!
About reading Japanese knitting patterns, I’ve only managed small simple projects so far. But there are some knitting reference books on how to decipher the symbols (in Japanese obviously!) I’ve got one for crochet and I’m hunting for the knitting one. I’ll let you know. Otherwise, try the wonderful knit-blogging community.
