英語(yǔ)訪談對(duì)話 372 Knitting

　　Vivian: I started to knit for my granddaughters, but time caught up with me and I was making for them a poncho which consisted of two pieces, two oblong pieces which I will put together and make a poncho.

　　Adrienne: That sounds pretty I think, but what will it look like when it's finished? Can you describe it?

　　Vivian: A poncho is sort of like a shawl, only it is closed. You can wear it like a sweater. You pull it over your head but you don't have any arms. You just have the shawl affect.

　　Vivian: I made a mixture of sand colors that's tan and browns and darker browns, sort of a mixture. It's a nice pretty soft yarn in the same colors. It just blends in.

　　Adrienne: Oh, sounds great. I'm sure your granddaughter will love that. What else did you start to make?

　　Vivian: Well, I wanted to make also, I bought some ponchos and I started to put an edging around them but with crocheting, but it didn't look right.

　　Adrienne: What's crocheting?

　　Vivian: Yes, I do, very shortly, I'm almost through
