Slinky can be such a bear! Maybe you could wear this under a sweater or jacket? Hate to see you waste your nice handwork. 11/23/03 7:01 PM
Gigi Louis said... Linda, I'm so sorry this didn't work out for you. I've found it is usually necessary to go down in size when using Slinky due to the amount of stretch it has. 11/23/03 8:39 PM

Gigi, I think you are right about slinky. I have enough material to try a smaller size. I also have several other slinky knits and may try one of those, save the rest of my black knit to use on some other style.
Cindyann, I might be able to wear under a jacket but the neckline is a little off also. If nothing else, I will donate it to Goodwill and I know someone will get some use out of it. 11/24/03 5:36 AM
