Hopefully she'll like the colors. The first picture isn't a great picture, but it does show you the structure. I just wet blocked them as normal (you can't say that Bartlett softens, but it does get more even and the stitches look more even) and then dried them by a fire. Bartlett is hardcore stuff - unlike Knitpicks which is prettier but not nearly so durable. Short of having bleach dumped on them or getting lost in a fire, it's safe to say these puppies should outlast the next 5 or 6 presidential administrations.
