I learned to knit from a video, at the age of forty. 我四十岁那年，跟着视频学会了织毛衣。

I wanted to make a scarf for my sister. 我想给我姐织条围巾。

A simple one. 简简单单的一条。

Just a long rectangle. 就是个长方形就行。

It did not stay a rectangle. 结果织着织着就不是长方形了。

At the beginning, it was fifteen centimeters wide. 刚开头那会儿，有十五厘米宽。

By the middle, it was twenty. 织到中间，变成了二十厘米。

Near one end, there's a hole I couldn't fix, 靠近一头的地方，还有个我怎么也补不上的洞，

and a place where the pattern changes for no reason. 甚至有一块的花纹莫名其妙就变了。

It took me three months. 我前前后后织了三个月。

When I finished, I almost didn't give it to her. 织完之后，我差点都不好意思送给她了。

She opened the box and held it up. 她打开盒子，把围巾拿起来看。

She saw everything. 她全看出来了。

The hole. 那个洞。

The wide part. 变宽的那一块。

Then she put it on, 然后她就直接戴上了，

and she wouldn't take it off, indoors, all evening. 整个晚上在屋里都没摘下来。

She owns beautiful scarves. 她其实有好多漂亮的围巾。

Silk ones. 真丝的都有。

She wears mine all winter. 但她整个冬天都戴着我织的那条。

A perfect scarf says somebody had money. 一条完美的围巾，说明有人花得起钱。

A crooked one says somebody had time, and gave it to you. 一条织歪了的围巾，说明有人花了时间，并且把时间给了你。
