My favorite sweater grew too small. I love that sweater best of all. My grandma made it when I was three. She made that sweater just for me.
I picked the yarn (紗線),a special blue. The color of bluebells (藍色風鈴花),wet with dew (露珠). When I was three I was very small. But now I'm five and much too tall.
I have a new jacket now that's green. So I gave my sweater to our cat Queen. Queen just gave birth to kittens in the shed (小屋). My favorite sweater is now their bed.
