肥魚 A fat fish

參加了一個為他人作編圖測試的團體，玩偶的編圖不多，但剛好給我遇上了這尾肥魚，因為是測試編圖的關係，所以要忠於原著，不能將編圖改動，只能在配色方面展現個人風格。

這魚的體型不小，如果單色會略嫌單調，但礙於編圖的特點（螺旋式鉤法，而且每圈的開始是在旁邊而不是底部），一圈圈的換色會有缺陷，所有決定隨意換色。魚尾按原意是垂直的（就像下面的照片），但因為每圈的第一針會逐漸右移的關係，變成如今略為傾斜的樣子。如果我要再編這條魚的話，我會按實際情況將編圖微調，而且將魚尾弄成水平，就像上面的照片那樣。

I have justed joined a group for doing pattern testing.  There are only a few amigurumi patterns, and this fish is one of them.  As a general rule for doing pattern testing, we should exactly follow the design.  We can only play around with the colour for showing our own style.

The size of this fish is not small at all.  So a single colour for the whole body would be too dull.  But as limited by the pattern (it is not joined and the start of a round is at the side instead of the bottom), making stripes of colours is not desirable.  So I just create patches of different colour in random.  According to the pattern, the tail should stand up (like the lower photo).  But due to the gradual shifting to the right of stitches, the tail of my fish came out to be inclined to one side.  Should I shall make this fish again, I would like to adjust the stitches of the tail so that it will lay flat, just like to the upper photo.
