Wind-up: Soft yet crisp texture, colours to weep for. I love this yarn, and the pattern is both wearable and flattering. Alas, I had taught myself to knit a little too tightly (thinking it was a good way to produce regular stitches), and working with the no-give Kidsilk yarn certainly didn't discourage the Klingon Knit Method. I managed to wear a groove into my left index finger with a yarn they call 4-Ply Soft. At the end of my project, I discovered to my utter horror that I'd only used 2 of the 4 balls. I still wonder if Lucy's parents machine-washed the sweater and discovered the terrible flaw. I relaxed the cranking as the project went on, so they could indeed have a monstrously lopsided micro-cardigan by this point.
