itchy

Sophie thinks everything is itchy - everything I knit, that is. I knit her a pair of socks out of merino and silk blend yarn and she even says those are itchy!
She says she likes the things I knit her, but then she won't hardly wear them. The only things I can get her to wear (sometimes) are her blue glacier sweater, her mittens, and her "warm pants" but only if she's wearing a layer underneath. And she wants me to make her a new sweater! Hmm. We'll see about that. I try to be really careful to make her things with soft yarn, but her standards and mine of what is "soft" are obviously very different. What will I do with her?
