太累了，中文後補吧！

This pattern was purchased as a kit from the Kim Hargreaves web site from UK. They were arrived 5 days after my order and wrapped so beautifully which made my brother so jealous! I felt like unwrapping a gift box from my very best friend when I untie the ribbons in the box.

I ordered 2 kits and one book "Heartfelt" from the website and all of them are so gorgeous and left me nil disappointment. The yarn's nice, and the patterns are simple yet elegant, which were really MY STYLE!

Anyhow, I gotta report the FO. It's beautiful, the yarn's nice, but, it's too small for me, I don't really understand. Does it mean that my head's far too bigger than normal people? My SIL, whose head's much smaller than me, would become the recipient of this project. And, me, gotta find another beret pattern which can accommodate a big head...

Since the pattern's simple, the FO is so wearable that people can just go with it in any clothes. Kim's patterns are mostly in this style, very simple, but really show the beauty of the yarn. I strongly recommend everyone to go to her website and have a peek. You would surely in love with them like I do!

這是我第一次作的手套，也是我第一次用這個毛線。我只可以說，我不會再用這毛線了！因為雖然這個叫作silk garden，所以用料也比較高貴，可是對我來說這真的是不可以接受的扎人。而且我還找到了一個顏色不能配上的結呢！

This is the first pair of fingerless mittens that I made, and my first exposure to noro yarn. I must say, I would not use this yarn again. Although silk garden was claimed to be more delicate and decent and luxurious, it is still unforgiveably itchy and unmatched knots were found!

可是，這花樣很美呢！而且用的時間很短，只用了兩晚就完成了。這真是最好用來送禮的東西呢！
Well, the pattern is great, lovely, and easy to do. It spent me approximately two nights to finish a pair, and the result was good. It is surely a nice last-minute knitted gifts!
