I'm starting to doubt the linen-cotton theory. Of course, the yarn has no label, and I've been basing my linen-cotton claims on the sign on the bin I bought it from. I'm starting to think that this yarn may be, as Kay put it in Friday's post, beast-based. Possibly these beasts:
Aaaaww, there, that cutens things up a bit. Mario and Checker were the most prodigious shedders I ever met. You'd pick one of them up for a little hug and come away wearing a nice new piggie-fur coat. Which never stopped me from picking them up for little hugs - they were tremendously huggable. I'd like to have guinea pigs again someday...they're wonderful, sweet-natured critters, and did I mention cute? Check out those faces.
Of course, I've got my hands full with just one pet at the moment:
(Sssshh...she has a catnip mouse trapped in that curtain. Don't give away her position.) Gracie sheds too, but still not as much as this alleged linen-cotton blend. Oh, and she'd like me to tell you that she is also sweet-natured and cute. Which is true, so I will.

Jules - just read your comment on CAP and - would you believe it? I am, even as we speak, knitting myself exactly that, a pair of long (long) "arm warmers" ending in fingerlessness. I'm not being very elegant about it on account of because 1) they're just for me; and 2) they're going to be up the sleeves of my down jacket anyway, when the snow flies.
Hmm, very annoying. And doesn't it make you wonder how much more lacy it will be after it's been washed?!
