pink kid

we're having a hellish time with some kidsilk haze. yes, it's expensive. yes, it comes in the best colours including the oh my golly that's so bright "candy girl". yes, that mohair/silk combo feels amazing. most importantly, yes, it's a total beast to rip back.
others have told us it's not so bad to rip back - just lay the thing back and go for it. put it in the freezer for a while. you'll be fine.
yeah, right. so we froze. end result - addi turbos very, very cold. no help. as for laying it flat and ripping, methinks the problem here is that what we're trying to rip back here is a cast off - we ran out of yarn.
we thought back to margaret stove's lace knitting tutorial, where she reminded us that when she was doing restoration work on vintage lace she'd often just do the tiniest bit - just a few stitches - then walk away, and come back - a few minutes, a few days later - and go again. sounds like we're going to have to take a similar tack.
