這件外套看上很久了但是一直沒有動工因為沒有適合的線,實在不想用太細的線然後還要重新算針,很懶啦!直到最近瑪姐在說TKA四月群織要打這件才又在想要用什麼線,上星期去外婆家忽然想起外婆的衣櫃裡好像還有幾磅粗線.外婆織毛衣都用粗線,之前要給我還不要因為沒有想到可以織啥,又嫌顏色不夠漂亮,這是大陸線的缺點之一.外婆衣櫃中也只剩兩種顏色的粗線,一組蠻好看的深綠,一組紫藍灰.本來想要拿身綠的,結果外婆說媽看上了說要拿來打某件毛衣,加上阿姨聽了我形容的二月小姐後建議我用紫藍灰,於是一包將近一磅半的紫藍灰粗線就給我帶回家了.
Found this lot in my grandma’s closet. My grandmother bought this yarn during her annual visit to Shanghai years ago. There were another bag of dark green yarn I was opting for but then learned that my mother already had a project in mind for it and my aunt suggested the purplish blue grey for this project after hearing the description of the cardigan, so I brought this lot home with me!



拿回來的線共13球,約680+克
13 skeins in total about 680+ grams


一開始我用日規10號(5.1mm)的針打了幾排起伏針,發現太鬆了,且鬆緊度也不同,後來改用8號針打好多了且鬆緊度竟然跟原作相同!真是太好了!
I started out using Jap #10 (5.1mm) and found the knitting too loose after a few rows of garter stitch and switched to Jap#8 (4.5mm) which turned out nicely AND the gauge's exaclty the same as the original pattern!

Now off to knit up the sleeves!
