Remarkable.  I had intended to fit baby alpaca yarn into the (Poignant) 
Guide (in chapter five's continued chapters of The Scarf Eaters.)  I 
just scanned for it and realized I musta backspaced over it sometime. 
I'm putting that passage back in.  We gotta cash in on these 
subliminals, folks!

Jamis, I could use some juicer knit references in my next Scarf Eaters. 
  How much do you guys charge for a brief consultation, wherein I sit 
there and listen to you name-drop various fibers?
