I'm sorry, I can't lower the price. This book was purchased new this year. I've already priced it quite low, so I'm sorry, but I can't offer a discount. I bought it after browsing it at the bookstore, so it's in good condition, but there might be some minor scratches, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about this. "Enjoying Zodiac and New Year Decorations with Cross Stitch" Price: ¥1760 Book Overview: A collection of cross-stitch patterns for the Zodiac and New Year decorations that you'll want to stitch for the New Year. The works include patterns of the twelve zodiac signs, each zodiac sign combined with Japanese motifs such as noshi (decorative gifts), round windows, and snow crystals, frame patterns using DMC frames (circular), small postcard-sized patterns that can be displayed at the entrance, and patterns of New Year decorations such as shimekazari (sacred straw ropes), kadomatsu (pine and bamboo decorations), and cranes and turtles, which you can display along with the zodiac patterns. This is a book that allows you to enjoy the New Year with cross stitch. Detailed explanations of the basics of cross stitch are also included. The materials used are DMC thread (No. 25 embroidery thread) and fabric (Aida 14 count, linen 28 count). There is also a color chart page for embroidery thread, which is convenient for choosing colors. #Enjoying Zodiac and New Year Decorations with Cross Stitch #Book #Lifestyle/Housework #CrossStitch #Embroidery #Handicraft #Handmade #Zodiac #NewYear #YearOfTheHorse #CrossStitchBook #CrossStitchPattern
