Chapter 422: Hand-knitted
Ah Yuan himself was not idle this night, in addition to polishing a pair of bamboo sticks, he also specially sharpened a crochet needle, playing with it in his hand, but he could also get back a little bit of the feeling of the year.
In her previous life, she was not a woman who was too nostalgic for the outside world, and she always stayed in the house when she came home from work, and doing handicrafts became a pastime.
She actually prefers the speed of crochet to knitting wool. A crochet hook can be used to weave a thread into a piece of fabric, which can then be combined into clothing or home accessories, and the weaving method can also be a mixture of crochet and rod knitting.
Crochet is a magical home, the woven fabric is full of countless small rings, through the hook to tie the thread into a slipknot, as a ring, and then the hook from the first ring into the hook, hook the head of the line, hook out another link, you can gradually form a row of strings, the last row will only have a movable ring strung on the crochet needle, the new row can be returned to hook on the old row, so the loops on the string hook out of countless rows, it forms a piece of crochet.
In fact, the logic of stick knitting is basically the same, but the difference is that the pattern of crochet is relatively free, from beginning to end there is only one crochet and one thread, which can hook out many free types and patterns, round shapes, and even small three-dimensional fabrics, such as finger dolls.
It's a pity that there is only white cotton thread at hand, Ah Yuan's skills are itchy, so he first leaned on the bed and hooked a few rose petals, confirmed that his skills were not returned to the previous life, and then he fell asleep satisfied.
With anticipation, the second day was very grand.
The skillful maids and lotus pickers and green willows and others came to the living room early to report, and there were all kinds of embroidery threads, cotton threads, and silk threads. A pair of bamboo skewers are also polished. Just wait for the teacher to teach you how to do it!
and Li Wei. After inspecting the affairs of the kindergarten, I hurried back, and the woman couldn't help but be interested in new things.
Knitting socks should be knitted from the toes, how to start the needle to teach a little bit of work, until everyone learns the simplest jersey method, Ah Yuan began to explain the next steps.
Because he was going to do an analysis, Ah Yuan found a pair of relatively thick bamboo skewers equivalent to No. 9 stick needles, and six cotton threads started with 24 needles. Each row weaves flat needles, the first needle of each row is not knitted, a total of twelve back and forth, twenty-four rows.
Then pick 24 stitches on the side of the thread, pointing to pick 2 stitches on the first and last stitches, and 1 stitch among the other stitches.
In turn, weave flat needles, and pick 14 needles on the other side, including 2 needles for the first and last needles, and 1 needle for other needles, so that the flat needles on three sides are 62 needles. It takes twelve times to weave back and forth, which is also twenty-four lines.
And then it's a little dazzling. Ah Yuanbian said while his fingers were flying, subtracting needles on both sides, subtracting 1 stitch every other row, subtracting 4 stitches on each side, reducing to 54 stitches.
It is also necessary to pick 56 needles, convert the double rib pattern, until the toes, combine the two needles into one needle, and then weave one or two rows upwards to close the needle at one time......
A pair of loose socks and shoes like fishnets appeared on Ah Yuan's palm, and it took two hours to get this looseness!
The room was full of women, and there was no need to shy away from it, so Cai Lian took off her shoes and socks and put this fishnet-like cotton sock on her feet.
Each cotton thread is ironed to the whole foot, and the hollowed-out fishnet style gives the foot an unusual beauty, and the ankle is also tightly wrapped, without the slightest looseness like the sewn cotton sock that has just faded.
Cailian's feet are good, and they are tightly wrapped for a long time, natural and fair, and the effect of colorful cotton threads wrapping up is really shocking to everyone's vision.
"It's so pretty!"
"We must learn to knit socks, how beautiful shoes are in this way!"
"Not only is it beautiful, neat, and comfortable, if you weave it a little thicker, you can still keep warm in winter!" As a person who has experienced it firsthand, Cailian has the best comments.
Now the motivation to learn has increased, and the maids are reluctant to leave the living room, so they find a place to sit down and start their own weaving, because, just watching the demonstration, it is impossible to remember all the steps completely, and they have to guard the teacher's face and point out at any time.
Li Wei frowned and looked Ah Yuan up and down: "I don't understand, how did you come up with this brain?" Four bamboo skewers can weave a pair of beautiful cotton socks, hey! I wonder if it's all the mush in my head! ”
Being a good friend was hit, Ah Yuan was quite embarrassed: "This is the result of my thinking for a long time, and now my brain is not enough, you say, this cotton thread can be woven into socks, is it possible to weave it into clothes to wear?" Won't it look good? ”
This is to give someone a chance to show their intelligence, not our own people, how can we give it to her?
Li Wei really got angry, and sighed: "Well-I think it can work, this dress and socks are the same thing, isn't it just a big piece of weaving, and then sew it up?" ”
"As soon as you say that, I know in my heart, Sister Wei, why don't we two specialize in knitting clothes? Calculate the size and then start work, we can still wear it when it is large, and it is small to weave it."
Ah Yuan's proposal was responded to by Green Willow: "Don't be afraid to weave small, give it to our two daughters!" ”
This weaving work, the most productive time is a group of women weaving together, pulling their fingers without delay, and before they know it, a morning has passed.
Most of them had a sock head in their hands, and they hated having to eat lunch to continue knitting, and Ah Yuan and Li Wei also knitted a sweater piece each.
"According to me, it is the best way to ask the cook to cook hand-rolled noodles for us, mix them with a la carte, and eat them without delaying the work!" Li Wei seems to be really addicted, and she is not picky about what to eat at all.
Children do not need to be supervised, and the kindergarten arranges for them to eat together, so that picky eaters are avoided and bonds are fostered.
Eating noodles is indeed the fastest, and more than a dozen women continue their work after dropping their jobs, doing it for the first time, and they don't need to worry about the protection of the cervical and lumbar spine.
It's that the thread is too short, and it has to be rewired after weaving for a while, especially for the sake of beauty, Cailian chooses the colorful silk thread of embroidery, which is broken in one meter or two, which makes her annoyed and scratches her scalp.
Zhang Dashan was sent out again to Zhuyang County to purchase a group of filament threads, and also instructed that the longer the better, and to pick bright colors.
Cai Lian took her half-cut socks to see Ah Yuan and Li Wei's works, although these two people only chose white cotton threads, but after weaving into pieces, they looked good when their hands were even.
"Sister-in-law, when did you practice such a good craft? After this sweater is knitted, it is dyed with a beautiful color, how beautiful is that? ”
Cailian's nature is not immune to beautiful things, and he couldn't help but sigh while holding a knitted sweater, this is what Li Wei and Ah Yuan discussed, the first dress is good, it should be practiced, and the craft will be mature before making a wedding dress for Cailian.
Ah Yuan has the best way to deal with this kind of problem, turned around and went to the bedroom and took out the flowers crocheted out of last night: "I think about decorating the clothes with a few more small flowers, Sister Wei finishes weaving two front pieces, I finish knitting the back pieces, sew them up to see the effect, if you like this aunt, then we will knit a small shawl for you to wear, and then match the wedding dress you made ......."
No woman can withstand this naked and beautiful temptation, Cailian's face is shining, and a few little maids with budding spring hearts have also become star eyes.
It is estimated that in recent times, these companies will be popular from top to bottom to knit sweaters, and some small socks can't be seen.
Ah Yuan and Li Wei are calculating this new deal again, and when the maids have mastered the weaving technology, they will recruit a large number of skillful village women and village girls to join the ranks of weaving, and it is best to call Mrs. Hu again, and work together to improve the status of all women in Zhuyang County.
The so-called economic base determines the superstructure, and the woman must be able to earn her own money in order to gain the sovereignty to speak at home.
"This time, I'm going to do it directly in Dafa! I have found out that the whole of Zhuyang County is rich, we can make money more comfortably, the sales of sweaters and socks must not be wrong, we must look beyond the county, outside the provincial capital ......."
It is really rare that Li Wei's ideological realm has improved so quickly, and it has surpassed the limitations of only focusing on women's rights issues in the previous period.
Now I have got more than a dozen pairs of finished socks, but unfortunately because it is a debut, the size of the fat and thin is not very uniform, and the hand strength is loose and tight, and the surface is very uneven.
Cailian's socks are very beautiful, colorful and very similar to the turkey of Westerners during the festival, but there are too many joints, and it is estimated that the pimples will be awkward after wearing them.
During this time, Ah Yuan and Li Wei had the most sense of achievement, the small sweater that opened was successfully knitted, and there were two more short sleeves, and a large rose was sewn on the placket.
Song likes it so much, she resolutely refuses to dye it again, how beautiful the little girl's white clothes are, and she looks like an otherworldly fairy!
The little girl was greedy and started crying directly, and Lu Liu took out the knitted socks and didn't agree, until the eldest aunt and Aunt Li Wei surrendered with both hands, and promised to work overtime and stay up late to knit one for her, so they could be regarded as taking back the tears.
Ah Yuan is very satisfied with this, because Song Haohao, who has always been strong, didn't stop his mother for the first time, and didn't even accuse Yaya, you have an extra pair of socks!
It seems that my daughter has learned a little tolerance in kindergarten, and she has also learned how to get along with other children, although there are only seven little girls in the garden, just these days, the results are also good. (To be continued......)
