Crochet Spoon

203gow made this really gorgeous crochet spoon, which appears to have some sort of armature wire inside it, but I can't be sure because I can't understand Japanese. Can anybody who does give us an idea of what she's written?

How awesome is this amigurumi light switch? 203gow posted it up to her blog, and although I can't read Japanese, I still totally dig it.
