Wednesday 23rd<\/sup> March 2011<\/p>\n

My black cashmere cardy went bobbly. Only had it in September. Bought at the Prada Factory Shop, Montevarchi (beside the Autostrada del Sole) with the money saved from paying for the villa last summer. What I mean is the others bought all the food, so it felt free. Prince Dmitri and I had forked in advance of course and by the time actually there the massive wound to the finances had healed.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t money funny? Did you listen to the Cancelleria\u2019s budget speech? They had it on the Radio. I couldn\u2019t believe that they didn\u2019t cut to something else.<\/p>\n

But my cardy went bobbly before Christmas. Jeeves of Belgravia said they could do something about it. Maybe. But it was returned still old dog. I hung it in the wardrobe and tried to forget. Then, sudden flash, great gash of inspiration \u2013 I remembered my De-fuzzing device, bought years ago to tackle a Nicole Farhi knit that bobbled terrible.<\/p>\n

Was it where it should be? The device. Yes, it was. So I got that cardy splayed on the floor, absolutedly kneed to the floor. And scraped, and scraped, and scraped; a good hour, Poor Little Rich Gays, and you must back up with an excellently stern clothes brush. The whole experience was as difficult for me as for the cardy, I can tell you. Ghastly slugs of black wool all over the place.<\/p>\n

But it worked. My cardy restored. I could have driven through the streets to St Paul\u2019s for a Service of Thanksgiving, so rare is redemption.<\/p>\n

Now Joshua Baring, our youngest Poor Little Rich Gay and the voice for the future, tells me that you can put your knits in the freezer overnight and they\u2019ll never bobble again. But he\u2019s checking the process, so don\u2019t try it at home just yet.<\/p>\n
