Knitting with angora is a whole new experience. It's like knitting with yarn spun out of butter. Granted, very furry butter that gets all over everything and makes me sneezy, but wow is it soft.
It's also very fragile yarn. I had to readjust my tension after a few stitches. I'm normally a very tight knitter, but I found that I was pulling so tight the yarn was coming apart. So I'm forcing myself to knit more loosely.
I've got to say, though, and you'll see photos of what I'm making soon enough, that I really love knitting stockinette in the round. So easy and mindless and repetitive and soothing... Mmm. Especially when you're knitting with bunnies.
