Chapter 422 Hand Knitting
A Yuan was not idle this night. In addition to polishing a pair of bamboo sticks, she also specially polished a crochet, which was played around and flipped in her hands, and she could regain some of the feelings she felt back then.
In her previous life, she was not a woman who was too nostalgic for the outside world. She always stayed in the house when she got home from work, and doing handicrafts became a pastime.
Compared to knitting wool, she actually prefers the quickness of crochet. A crochet can weave a thread into a piece of fabric, and then combine the fabric into clothing or home accessories. The weaving method can also be mixed with crochet and needle knitting.
Crochet is a magical home. The woven fabric is filled with countless small rings. The thread is tied to a snap knot through the hook and filled it with one ring. Then the hook is penetrated from the first ring, hooking the thread and hooking out another ring, and then gradually forming a row of thread strings. The last row will have only one movable ring string on the crochet. The new row can be returned to the old row, so the loops on the thread strings will hook countless rows, forming a piece of crochet.
In fact, the logic is basically the same as the knitting of a stick needle, but the difference is that the pattern of crochet is relatively free. There is only one crochet and one thread from beginning to end, which can hook into many free shapes and flower shapes, round shapes, and even small three-dimensional fabrics, such as finger dolls.
Unfortunately, there is only white cotton thread on hand. Ah Yuan's skill is itchy. She first leaned against the bed and hooked a few rose petals. She confirmed that her skills had not been returned to her previous life before she fell asleep satisfied.
With expectations, the second day looks very grand.
The skillful maids, Cailian Luliu and others came to the living room early to report. There were all kinds of embroidery threads, cotton threads, and silk threads. Everyone had a pair of bamboo sticks, so they were polished so brightly, just waiting for the teacher to teach how to do it!
There is also Li Wei who checked the kindergarten affairs and hurried back. As a woman, she has no choice but to be interested in novel objects.
It takes a little effort to knit socks from the toes. It is a bit difficult to teach how to start a needle. It is not until everyone learns the simplest knitting method that A Yuan starts to explain the next steps.
Because it is necessary to make an analysis. A Yuan found a thicker bamboo stick equivalent to a No. 9-bite needle. He started twenty-four stitches with six cotton threads. Each line of flat stitches was knitted. The first stitch in each line was not knitted. A total of twelve round and round were knitted, twenty-four lines.
Then pick twenty-four needles on the side with the wire head. Point to pick two needles in the first and last needles, and 1 needle from the other needles.
Then, knit flat needles, and pick fourteen stitches to the other side, including two stitches for the first and last stitches, and one stitch among the other stitches. In this way, knit flat needles on three sides, a total of 62 stitches are required. It takes twelve round trips, which is also twenty-four lines.
Then I was a little dazzled. As A Yuan said, his fingers were flying, reducing needles on both sides, reducing 1 needle in one row, reducing 4 needles on each side, reducing 54 needles.
You also need to pick 56 needles and change the double rib pattern until the toes. Put the two needles on and form one stitch, and knit one or two lines up. Just collect the needles at once...
A pair of loose socks and shoes that looked like fishing appeared on A Yuan's palm. It took two hours to relax!
There were women in the room, so there was no need to avoid it. Cailian took off her shoes and socks and put the fishing cotton thread socks on her feet.
Each cotton thread is ironed on the entire foot, and the hollowed-out fishing style gives the feet an unusual beauty, and the ankles are also tightly wrapped, not as loose as a sewn cotton sock tube that has just faded.
The lotus-picking feet are well grown, and they are wrapped tightly for a long time. They are naturally white and dazzling. The effect of wrapping colorful cotton threads together really shocks everyone's vision.
“That’s so good!”
"We must learn to knit socks, so how beautiful it is to wear shoes like this!"
"It's not only beautiful, neat, and comfortable. If it's thicker, it can keep warm in winter!" Cailian, as a personal experience, commented the most in place.
The maids were so excited that they could not leave the living room, so they were forced to sit down and start knitting themselves, because they just watched the demonstration briefly, and it was impossible to remember all the steps completely. They had to keep a close eye on the teacher and give guidance at any time.
Li Wei frowned and looked at A Yuan up and down: "I don't understand, what did your brain think of? Four bamboo sticks can make a pair of beautiful cotton thread socks, hey! I even doubt if it's the paste in my mind!"
Being a good friend was hit, and A Yuan was quite embarrassed: "This is the result that I thought about for a long time before I came up with it. Now I don't have enough brains. You said that this cotton thread can knit socks, is it possible to knit it into clothes? Will it look good?"
This is to give someone a chance to show their intelligence. If you are not your own, how could we give it to her?
Li Wei was indeed so arrogant and pondered: "Well - I think it's OK. These clothes and socks are the same. Isn't it just a piece of knitted bigger and sew them up?"
"After you say this, I know what I know. Sister Wei, why don't we two specialize in knitting clothes? Calculate the size and start working. If we weave bigger, we can still wear them. If we weave smaller, we will——”.
A Yuan’s proposal was responded by Lu Liu: “I’m not afraid of being a little bitch, I’ll give it to our two daughters!”
The most important thing about this weaving work is a group of women weaving together, pulling their fingers around without delay, and a morning passed without realizing it.
Most of them had a sock head in their hands, and they wanted to have lunch to continue knitting. A Yuan and Li Wei also knitted a sweater piece.
"As far as I said, I asked the chef to cook hand-rolled noodles for us, mix with orders and eat them the most convenient way, and it won't delay the work!" Li Wei seemed really addicted and was not picky about what she had eaten.
Children do not need care, and the kindergarten is responsible for arranging their collective meals, which can avoid the problem of picky and partial eating and promote each other's relationship.
Eating noodles is indeed the fastest. More than a dozen women leave their jobs and continue their work. They do it for the first time and don’t have to worry about the protection of the cervical and lumbar spine.
The thread ball is too short, and you have to rewire it after weaving it for a while. Especially for the sake of beauty, picking lotus uses colorful silk threads embroidered with flowers, which breaks by one or two meters, which makes her worry and keep scratching her scalp.
Zhang Dashan was sent out again to Zhuyang County to purchase long silk threads into a group, and also told him that the longer the better, and to choose bright colors.
Cailian looked at the works of A Yuan and Li Wei with her half-piece socks. Although these two people only chose white cotton thread, after they were weaving it into pieces, the strength of their hands looked very good when they were even.
"Sister-in-law, when did you develop such a good craft? How beautiful would it be after the sweater is knitted and then dyed it with beautiful colors?"
Cailian is naturally unable to immunize beautiful things. She holds a piece of knitted sweater and sighs. This is what Li Wei and A Yuan have discussed. The first piece of clothing is used as a practice. Only after the craftsmanship is mature can Cailian make wedding dresses.
A Yuan had the best way to deal with this problem. He turned around and went to the bedroom to take out the flowers that were crocheted last night: "I thought about embellishing a few more small flowers on my clothes. Sister Wei knitted two front pieces, and after I knitted the back pieces, I can put them on and see the effect. If your aunt likes it, then next one, we will knit you a small shawl worn by the bride, and match it with the wedding dress you made..."
No woman can withstand this temptation of naked beauty. Cailian's face shone brightly, and a few little maids with spring hearts turned into starry eyes.
It is estimated that in recent times, these companies have become popular with knitted sweaters from top to bottom, and some small socks are invisible.
A Yuan and Li Wei are planning this new deal again. When the maids master the weaving technology, they will recruit skillful villagers and girls on a large scale to join the weaving ranks. It is best to call Mrs. Hu and work together to improve the status of all the women in Zhuyang County.
The so-called economic foundation determines the superstructure. Women must be able to make money themselves in order to gain sovereignty to speak at home.
"This time I'll just go to the big hair! I've discovered that Zhuyang County is rich enough to make money more comfortable. The sales of these sweaters and socks must be no fault. We must focus on the outside of the county town and outside the provincial town..."
It is really rare that Li Wei's ideological level has improved so quickly, and it has surpassed the limitations of focusing on feminist rights in the previous period.
Now I have obtained more than a dozen pairs of socks. Unfortunately, because it is a debut work, the size and size are not very uniform, and the strength of the hand is loose and tight, and the surface is very uneven.
The socks that pick lotus are very beautiful, colorful and look like Western turkeys during festivals. There are too many joints, so if you wear them, you will probably hurt your feet after wearing them.
During this period, A Yuan and Li Wei felt the most accomplished. The sweater she had successfully knitted, and two short-sleeved sleeves were added, and a large rose was sewn on the front.
Song Hao liked it so much that he refused to dye it again. The little girl's clothes are so beautiful in white, and she looks extraordinary and fairy-like!
Xiao Yaya was so envious that she started crying. Lu Liu took out the knitted socks and refused to agree. It was not until the eldest uncle and Li Wei surrendered with both hands and promised to work overtime and stay up late to knit one for her, so she took back her tears.
A Yuan was very satisfied with this, because the always strong child Song Haohao didn’t stop his mother for the first time, and even did not accuse Yaya. You have another pair of socks!
It seems that my daughter has learned a little tolerance in kindergarten and how to get along with other children. Although there are only seven little girls in the kindergarten, her grades have to be pretty good in just a few days. (To be continued.
