光是後片就搞了一個多月才完成, 因為 Véronik Avery 設計的毛衣很漂亮但是打起來很複雜, 一個後片有四種花樣, 為了不想因為打錯花一直拆, 所以小心翼翼每打幾針看一下花樣的模樣編, 確認沒打錯, 導致進度超緩慢.
It took me more than a month to finish the back. Although Véronik Avery's designs are all very beautiful but they are really complicated. There are four different stitch patterns for the back, I didn't want to make mistakes and frog, so I knitted very slowly and check every few stitches thus lengthened the progress.

進度緩慢就算了, 中間還差了個春之鬱金香, 斜斜完全停擺, 進度就更慢了. 好不容易腰身部分的減針開始加針, 到最後一次加針時發現針數不對? 發現原來少減了一次針! 這就是中間停工前沒有做筆記的原故, 加上笨笨的沒看清楚有幾個段數環! 所以就拆吧~原本打了六個減針三個加針拆到剩三個減針, 因為健忘的我起頭處減了但結尾處忘記減哪!
Besides the slow progress, I suspended knitting Oblique for Spring Tulips Stole (the stole I'm going to wear to Paris), pushing the finish date even further into the future. When I got to the last increase for the waist increase I had 1 extra stitch, because I forgot to decrease the left side on one of the waist decreases. I stopped to knit Spring Tulips and didn't make notes and before resuming the project failed to check thoroughly my markers...so, FROG! HAd to rip out 3 increases and 3 decreases...

重打後順利許多, 很快就打到腋下減針要開始做拉克蘭處, 這下容易打多了, 因為花樣熟了不用一直看模樣編確認, 且是每兩排正面減針, 就這樣很高興地減啊減啊到了最後一次減針, 一算....不對啊! 怎麼多出這麼多針呢? 這就是 Veronik Avery 的設計複雜的地方, 因為減針處牽涉到蕾絲花, 我可能想太多還繼續有打掛針, 這樣反而又加回去了. 沒辦法, 只好把拉克蘭部分拆掉重打, 還好一天就打完, 第二次沒問題, 每減一次算一次針.
After the major frogging the back went on fine for I memorized the four stitch patterns and when I was getting to the bind off part I founf there were too many stiches left! This is why I said Véronik Avery's designs are complicated: you have to decrease with LACE stitch patterns! And it's very tricky! I didn't count the stitches so I ended up increasing on some rows instead of decreasing. Frogged again and reknitted. Luckily it only took a day to redo. Counted while decreasing.

呼~~
Whew!

不過剛發線收針收太緊了點? 等等拆開換大一號針收, 織片我還沒蒸氣烘定型呢!
But I just realized that I bound off a bit too tight, should have bound off using needles one size larger.
