Candy faces financial pressure when her mother asks for an allowance increase, forcing the teen to find ways to earn money quickly. When Ted Dawson mentions needing a babysitter, Candy eagerly takes the job, but her plans go awry when she attempts to knit a sweater for him as a gift—a project that ends disastrously when the garment shrinks to an unusable size. Throughout the issue, Candy navigates the comedic challenges of balancing her desire to help her family finances while dealing with typical teen-age mishaps and her romantic interest in Ted.

When Candy's head is turned by Bruce Payton's souped-up hot-rod, she ditches her original date Ted Dawson—who's been saving his college money to build his own jalopy just to impress her. At Trish Traynor's party, Candy discovers that Bruce is more interested in talking about his engine than actually paying attention to her, while Ted's been left to console Adrienne and watch from the sidelines. As the evening spirals into jealousy and misunderstandings, Candy learns a hard lesson about what really matters when it comes to romance.

Candy O'Connor decides to knit a sweater for Ted Dawson to prove she's not the helpless girl he thinks she is—but her first attempt unravels spectacularly when she forgets to knot the final stitch. Determined to make good on her promise, she tries again, only to discover that knitting patterns are far more complicated than she bargained for. When the finished sweater fits Ted more like a tent than a garment, she insists on showing it off to the gang at the sugar-shoppe, leading to a series of mishaps that might just save the day in the most unexpected way.
