Chapter 50 Knitting a Sweater 2
Ningjing found that her younger sister didn't have any knitting needles, so she found two relatively straight branches of suitable thickness in the kitchen, peeled off the dead bark on the outside, revealing the beige branches inside, and then thought of sharpening the two ends to make them easier to use.
When Ning Jing picked up the kitchen knife, Ning Xiaoer suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said, "Sister, what are you going to do? I'll do it. Be careful with your hands."
Ning Jing knew that although the second brother was not as calm as the eldest brother, he was very flexible. Thinking of this, she took out the knitting needles that Aunt Li had given her at the supply and marketing cooperative and showed them to Ning Xiaoer. Ning Xiaoer took a look at them, then looked at the two branches that Ning Jing had chosen, and said with a smile: "Okay, sister, I got it. Don't worry, I'll be done in a moment!"
Ning Jing and Li Xiaomei had nothing to do, so they watched Ning Xiaoer do it. Ning Jing finished it in a short time, and the pointed end was convenient for picking up wool, and it was also not prickly. After Ning Xiaoer finished it, he polished it with sandpaper. It looked like a knitting needle you buy, but it was a few years old and not very white.
Li Xiaomei was very happy and quickly thanked Ning Xiaoer. Then she went back to her room with Ning Jing to knit a sweater.
Ning Jing is not very good at knitting sweaters. In her previous life, she had seen how to knit sweaters on the Internet, but she had never actually done it. The only time she knitted a scarf with her roommate in college was when she used the simplest method.
Ning Jing carefully recalled the information she had browsed online in her previous life. The first step was to cast on the needles. Ning Jing was very familiar with this. She did the same when she knitted a scarf. Ning Jing thought that Ning Xiaosan and Dachuanzi had similar body shapes, so she and Li Xiaomei could do the same. So she said to Li Xiaomei, "Let's cast on the needles first. Dachuanzi and Xiaosan are similar in body shape, so we will both cast on 38 stitches."
Li Xiaomei knitted according to Ning Jing's method. At the beginning, she was not familiar with it and asked Ning Jing to wait for her, but soon, Li Xiaomei surpassed Ning Jing.
peaceful:"."
Looking at Li Xiaomei's swift needlework, I suddenly wondered who she was and what she was doing.
Who is the apprentice and who is the master? It is true that the master leads the way and the practice is up to the individual.
Ning Jing also quickly sped up. At first, no one could see any progress, but by almost noon, Li Xiaomei had already knitted the general outline of the sweater, with only two sleeves left to be knitted. What about Ning Jing?
Ningjing looked at the sweater that was only half finished, and then looked at her younger sister who had already knitted the general outline of the sweater.
Why, God, why is it so unfair? It’s okay that Li Xiaomei is good at cutting vegetables, and practice makes perfect, but why is she so bad at knitting sweaters?
It was obviously she who taught Li Xiaomei how to weave, and Li Xiaomei's weaving was tight and thick.
While Ning Jing and Li Xiaomei were knitting sweaters, Ning Xiaoer was not idle. Instead, he cleaned the stone mill at home. He saw that the wheat grains in the kitchen were very clean and could be directly ground into flour.
Ning Xiaoer never knew that there was so much wheat at home. He was given a small bag during the autumn harvest, which weighed about ten pounds.
Ning Xiaoer didn't think about where the more than 100 kilograms of wheat came from. He was just happy about his grandfather's foresight. Otherwise, his family wouldn't have a stone mill. If he took the wheat out of the village to grind it, someone would always find something wrong.
Ning Xiaoer looked at the sky and felt that Ning Xiaosan and the others would be back soon, so he put the wheat and flour in the kitchen and prepared to cook.
This time, Ning Xiaoer generously took out flour to make pancakes. This was the flour that Ning Xiaoer had just ground. Since Ning Xiaoer didn't know how to use it, the flour and bran were mixed together and not separated, so Ning Xiaoer didn't add bran.
