Babble: Lovelovelove this yarn. It is so incredibly soft and silky and just feels divine against the skin. I hope Rowan keeps it around a good long time, because I will use it again.

You do have to be patient with it, because it will split like crazy otherwise. Don’t let that put you off, though. The finished fabric is so worth a little extra diligence.

As for the design itself, it’s very straightfoward and easy to follow. The lace pattern is easy to memorize. It’s easy to slip into a meditative rhythm where the time and the knitting just seems to fly right on by.

It does plague me with my personal problem, which is the fact that it doesn’t want to sit nicely across my chest. The front desperately wants to slip open and sit on either side of my boobs. Harrumph. :) That said, I still can’t wait to wear it out and about.
