終於完成啦！訂閱柳屋/樂天市場的newsletter以來，這是唯一一件非常非常想織的。如果記得沒錯，這應該是去年十一月送出來的圖樣。也就是因為偶而有這種好康的圖樣，我才會繼續訂這newsletter，要不然裡面都是日文，商品也不寄美國，訂了也沒啥意思。哎，他們如果願意寄國外就好了，有些日本毛線真的是好美唷！

It's finally done! This is the only one that I have very very much wanted to make ever since I started subscribing to Yanagiya's weekly newsletters. Every week they will send three free patterns for knitting or crochet, with a bunch of other links and promotional information on yarn and other crafty items. This one I believe was from last November. And it is for these wonderful freebies that I continue to subscribe to the newsletters. Otherwise the newsletters would have been totally useless since they are all in Japanese, and they don't ship outside of Japan even if I wanted to buy yarns. Oh, how I wish they would ship to US, cause some of those yarns are so yummy!

原圖樣照片，不錯看吧？！
Original pattern photo, pretty cute, huh?!


這件嘉莉也有做喔！高手就是高手，她的看起來好工整好美。我覺得我用的線可能太重了，織好時尺寸與織圖一樣，穿起來卻拉的好長。雖然可以用腰帶紮一下，可是這樣腰間就有一大坨，加了一圈輪胎，看起來很胖... 嗯，可能用個寬腰帶效果比較好... 哈哈，也許重點是，這件衣服要瘦人來穿才好看... :( 哎，該繼續努力減肥了...

Kelly also made this top. She did such a great job, hers looked so much better than mine. I think Brilla may be a bit too heavy for this design. When I first finished this top, the size was exactly the same as the pattern, which is perfect. But as I wear it, it drapes and stretches, and it becomes too long. I did make and use the belt as called for in the pattern, but it just creates more bulk around the waist. To make it work, I think I need a wide belt, maybe even one of those kimono-sash type of belt, to define the waist. Or maybe the point is, I should continue to work hard and loose some weight, hahaha...
