Chapter 489 Knitting (1)
In the cold winter, it is really a very warm and comfortable thing to nestle in a warm cave, drink hot tea, and knit by the campfire.
Xia Tian took the two knitting sticks that Si Ye had prepared for her and began to demonstrate how to weave these strands of wool into the three-dimensional finished product she wanted.
She started with the simplest technique. "I'll teach you the simplest flat stitch first. First, tie a slipknot like this on a skewer with the yarn. The width of the knot determines the width of the finished product. Once you've determined it, continuing to knit will only increase the length, not the thickness."
I want to learn this too!!! This knitting technique is so magical, I can actually make cloth with just two needles???
[Wait, I was just getting the tools! It's a shame there aren't any stores specializing in this kind of stuff in StarCraft. If there were, I could just buy them!]
[I won’t talk about it anymore, I’ll record the screen first and learn it later~]
The idea of opening a store flashed through Xia Tian's eyes, and she silently kept the matter in mind, waiting for the opportunity to open a store.
But right now, we have to deal with these yarns.
Si Ye followed her, still studying very seriously. Xia Tian continued, "I'll just give you a demonstration now. Make it roughly the width of a scarf. Once you've determined this, leave the remaining yarn alone. Hook it with your pinky finger, pick up another needle, and start knitting. In our place, knitting yarn is called knitting. For example, knitting a scarf is called knitting a scarf."
Si Ye nodded and watched the girl's knitting movements intently.
"This is the simplest flat stitch. It doesn't require any skills. Just repeat the same action." Xia Tian pulled the extended thread and hooked the free needle to the original thread. Using her pinky finger, she wrapped the yarn around the skewer and picked it up with the needle. When she was done, she showed it to him, "Look, it's just one move. Just repeat it exactly the same way."
Plain stitch is the simplest and most basic of all knitting techniques. All those who learn knitting start with plain stitch.
There is no change here. Just learn one movement and then perform it repeatedly to avoid missing stitches in the middle.
Because it was a demonstration, and Xia Tian hadn't done this kind of compilation work for a long time, her movements were relatively slow at the beginning.
"Pay attention, there's no need to wrap it around at the end, just pick it up directly with the needle." After finishing one stitch, Xia Tian switched sides and said, "This way, the yarn on this skewer is knitted. You see, the texture here is the same as at the beginning, so now start from the beginning and finish it exactly the same, until it's the size you want. I'll teach you how to finish it later."
After she became proficient in the technique, Si Ye also slowly started to do it himself. Her movements became obviously faster and faster, and soon a small piece of off-white wool was woven out.
Moreover, the texture in the middle is densely interwoven, which is very layered and textured.
Si Ye learned quickly and gradually started to speed up. His finger movements became more and more skillful and looked very comfortable.
