Can anyone here read Japanese? Would you like to do a little translation job?

I am obsessed with Japanese crafts, and every time I go to the Kinokuniya Bookstore in San Francisco, I buy one of the Japanese-language craft magazines. Then I go home and limp through the projects by scrutinizing the diagrams and photos, and I can usually figure out how to make things, but sometimes I can't, and having access to the written instructions sure would help.

So, if anyone here would like to translate a few craft recipes, I would love to trade something for the service....

I recently became interested in embroidery, after seeing in a store a very simple design on a very expensive sweater. Knowing I could do it myself and for much cheaper, I did a little hunting around and came across these iron-on template/guide thingies. They rock the casbah.
