Chapter 17 Knitting gloves

Qi wanted to take advantage of the fact that the weather was not completely cold before it was completely cold to make a padded jacket for Xiujuanyu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The two of them have grown taller, and they don't have to wear them, so they have to make new ones. Yujuan, don't say it, little brother Lin, it was naturally eliminated by his brothers and sisters. To make clothes, cotton thread is not enough, and Qi sits at the door twisting thread. Lin Yujuan looked at the spindle that was spinning, and felt that her head flashed. yes, I didn't think of it. You can knit sweaters, and even if you can't make money, your family can always wear them.

At the thought of knitting a sweater, Lin Yujuan felt another wail in her heart. Why? Because she had never knitted a sweater in her previous life. I remember that the biggest achievement was to knit a pullover sweater, the simplest flat needle, which was more than a foot long and almost divided the sleeves and gave up. Then I also hit the gloves, but all five fingers were punched out, which was pretty good. After thinking about it, I can start knitting sweaters, I can get a flat needle, I can add a needle, subtract a needle, and close the head. I can barely weave a piece of clothing when I think about it. It doesn't seem to work with a pattern or anything, but that one can be figured out.

There have never been fewer smart people in this world. Lin Yujuan dared to say that as long as she held a big stick needle and demonstrated it in front of those ingenious women. Maybe people end up knitting better than her, and there are more patterns. It's like window paper, pierced, and others are clear at a glance.

Lin Yujuan saw that the meal was almost done, and told her sister to let her make it herself. Lin Yujuan went to learn twisting from Qi by herself. Seeing that his daughter was willing to learn, Qi naturally taught her happily. But the thread twisted by Lin Yujuan is too thick, how can she sew clothes when they are much thicker than needles.

"You've made the thread so thick, you've got to make it as thin as I did." Hey, why didn't you listen to what I said, and you were so rough, you are here to make trouble? Seeing that Lin Yujuan had been taught repeatedly, Qi Shi was very relieved just now, and he only felt that he was about to get angry.

"Mom, Mom, don't be angry, I'm useful and useful." Lin Yujuan saw that the old lady was about to get angry, so she hurried to put out the fire first, otherwise she would not let herself get it with an order, and it would not be worth the loss. "Mom, I have a great idea. It is to make the thread thicker and weave it into a garment like a fishing net. It's very warm, and it's not as heavy as a padded jacket. It's perfect for wearing it at this time.

In Lin Yujuan's description, Qi imagined what it would be like to hang a pair of fishing nets on her body. Isn't that just a look, full of holes in the eyes can be called clothes? "Grandma, just stop, it's whimsical all day long. Can't you live in peace, can fishing nets make clothes? "This daughter is too good to toss.

It's really hard to describe, forget it, I'll find out when I knit a glove for you. Lin Yujuan took advantage of Qi's inattention and stole a large handful of cotton back to her room to hide. Then I made the remaining cotton fluffy and fluffy, and it didn't look good, and it was less. Now I can't twist the thread, and I'll take the cotton to my grandmother's house after dinner. You can ask Grandma Jiang to help you get it. I don't know how to twist the thread now, and when I finish it secretly, it's too slow to knit gloves. Grandma's twisting skills are good, and it will definitely be good soon.

After dinner, the four siblings went to their grandparents' house to learn to read and write. But when she went out today, Lin Yujuan sneakily stuffed things into her clothes in the room. The sisters and brothers have all seen it, but they haven't said anything yet, and Yujuan will always tell everyone when they go out. Who knew that it wasn't until my grandmother's house that I saw Lin Yujuan take out the ball, which turned out to be just a ball of cotton.

When Lin Yujuan entered the door, she went to her grandmother first, took out the cotton and said, "Grandma, can you help me twist the cotton thread." Just make it a little smaller than this straw. As he spoke, he took out a wheat straw brought from the kitchen and held it up in front of Jiang's eyes.

"Grandma twists it very quickly, but what's the use of such a thick thread?" Of course, Jiang is also very strange.

"I don't understand it now, grandma, please help me twist it. I'll see if I'm going to make something good out of thread. Lin Yujuan hugged Jiang's arm and shook it.

"Don't shake it, your head is shaking. I'll just help you get it, you must have done it behind your mother's back. "Jiang looks like a leather monkey.

Lin Yujuan couldn't explain so much, so she went to Old Man Lin with her sisters and brothers to learn to read and write. Now the days are short, it gets dark early, and now it is dark in only half an hour. However, to learn this kind of thing, it is important to persevere, and if it is colder in the future, it will be in the afternoon.

When Lin Yujuan was about to go home, Jiang's thread was also twisted. Jiang Shi took it and asked Lin Yujuan to take it back, she shook her head, "Grandma will let you here first, grandpa, can you help me make a few bamboo sticks." Make it with chopsticks, the two ends are pointed like needles, and the thickness is about the same as this thread, and it takes four. It must be made round and smooth. ”

"Two pairs of chopsticks, tossing and turning. I also asked the old man to do white work for you, don't do it! "Old man Lin doesn't want to mess around with the little girl.

"Grandpa, I'll give you a drink after you help me do it." Lin Yujuan had to heed profusely and made a killer move.

"Really? When? Give me a drink tomorrow? Old man Lin asked very seriously.

"Okay, I'll take the flask away now, I'll get you a drink tomorrow." Lin Yujuan had no choice but to take the wine jug before going home.

After returning home, the other three were also curious about what Lin Yujuan was doing again. Lin Yujuan only said that tomorrow grandpa will make bamboo needles and make them for you to see. The three of them couldn't pry Lin Yujuan's mouth open, so they had to give up and go to sleep.

The next morning, before dawn, Lin Yujuan and Lin Yukou were woken up. Qi had already made breakfast, and pulled back two baskets of vegetables from the field for the jade buckle to take to the street to sell. After breakfast, Yujuan and Yukou took vegetables and more than ten small jars that had been filled with kimchi and followed Lin Guilu on the boat and set off.

The sky was only slightly light, and the two brothers and sisters felt so cold when they sat on the boat. Lin Guilu looked at it and smiled, "It's cold, I'll pick up your grandfather to buy wood on the street in the afternoon." In the future, if you have a shed, you will not be cold. Put on the bedding and you can all get some sleep. ”

The two brothers and sisters could only get together and chat. "Brother, if there are more pickles, we won't sell this vegetable."

"Okay, as long as your pickles are easy to sell. Except for some craftsmen, the rest of the streets are selling vegetables, grains, chickens, ducks, fish balls and so on. Among them, there are really the most vegetable sellers. Lin Yukou observed very carefully.

When the boat arrived on the street, it was only slightly bright, and the father and daughter greeted Lin Yukou and hurriedly left. Lin Guilu was careful and picked two small baskets, saving it from being difficult to hold in his hands. When the father and daughter walked into the first morning tea shop with a small jar, the shopkeeper took a look. Then he welcomed the father and daughter to the back kitchen.

"Hehe, what is this brother's name?" The boss asked with a smile.

"Brother's surname is Lin, Lin Guilu, the second line in the family, you just shout Lin Er. I don't know what the boss is called? ”

"Hehe, Second Brother Lin, my surname is Zhang. This is your girl, right? When she came yesterday, I thought it was a child. I didn't expect it to be true, I believed it as soon as you came today haha. Your girl is really capable. Boss Zhang didn't forget to praise Lin Yujuan.

"Boss Zhang, there is a pound of side dishes in this jar. I'll pour it into a large bowl for you, and when the time comes, you'll have the chef cut it and put it on a small plate. As she spoke, Lin Yujuan handed the small jar to the chef who came over. Then took the jar, Lin Guilu exchanged a few more words with the shopkeeper and hurried to the next one. I was afraid that it would be too late to get to the back, so when I arrived at the adjacent store not far away, the father and daughter sent it separately. It didn't take long to be delivered. Then the father and daughter went to Lin Yukou.

Lin Yujuan saw that it was still early, and remembered that the wine promised to Old Man Lin hadn't been beaten yet. Lin Guilu listened to it and gave Lin Yujuan more than ten yuan and said that he would get two catties. Lin Yujuan agreed, and after a good drink, she went back to Lin Yukou to accompany her brother to sell vegetables together. Because I got up too early this morning, the three of them discussed it and went home immediately when there were not many people. It's not like you have to wait a little longer.

When she got home, as soon as the boat landed, Lin Yujuan jumped on it. I sent the wine to my grandfather. "Grandpa, are my bamboo needles ready? I've got you some wine. It's two pounds. As he spoke, he gave the wine to Old Man Lin as if offering a treasure. Old Man Lin smiled happily, no, his granddaughter is not old yet. can get her filial piety, and the old man is quite happy.

"Old woman, give her your granddaughter's things. Yujuan, how is your grandfather doing? Old man Lin took the wine and shouted to Jiang, then put the wine bottle to his mouth and took a sip, "Beautiful~"

Lin Yujuan took the bamboo needles and cotton thread balls, and didn't forget to tell the two of them, "Grandpa, grandma, you can't tell others about this." Keep it secret. Grandpa, you've eaten me, you should have a short mouth. ”

"Well, well, grandpa's mouth is for drinking, not gossip, don't worry." Old man Lin agreed.

Before it was time for lunch when she got home, Lin Yujuan thought about weaving it first. Of course, the twisted cotton thread is not as good as the wool sold on the market in the previous life, but it can barely be used. It's just that there is no color, and this white one is not resistant to dirt. These four short rod needles are really good, and they fully meet Lin Yujuan's requirements. Looking at this material, it is estimated that it is really made of chopsticks.

Lin Yujuan thought about knitting a small glove for Lin Xiaodi, that small, with less thread, it was easy to see the effect when weaving. The rod needle began to be knitted after more than 20 heads, and the first ten or so turns were up and down the needle. When the upper and lower stitches are finished, the wrists are also knitted. The finger part of the palm below is a simple flat needle, and at this time it is time to start adding needles. The family looked very strange, what is this, and then the Qi family understood what it meant to be like weaving a fishing net. The emotional hole is not that big. Lin Yujuan stopped weaving and weaving, and when she was about to eat lunch, she hadn't started to give her thumbs up yet.
