The Whisper Cardigan has become the Wispy Cardi.

Thank you so much for all the fantastic ideas!  It was hard to choose, but as several of you suggested, wispy is the one. The first to suggest it was Judy.  Congratulations, you have some Malabrigo sock yarn coming your way!

I have some exciting things in store for you, my loyal knitbot followers.  I promise it will be worth the wait for Wispy!
