I think I need to take a sedative before knitting Audrey. So many people have commented how much they love knitting with Calmer, but I'm still finding it a difficult beast to tame. It's so slippery and stretchy and I periodically end up with extremely loosey-goosey stitches, which my perfectionist streak can't tolerate. Like the little engine in the storybooks, I have to chant "I think I can, I think I can..." to myself as I go along.

Good luck taming the calmer! I think you'll find it worth it, since the final product is just so soft once knit up.
