Your Secret Pal

I'm glad I was able to brighten your day. I didn't know if you would like the yarn - but I figured it would make a nice scarf.

the following opinion should probably be taken with a grain of salt:

What's the harm in trying to shrink it? If it is so big she's not going to wear it, then surely distortion by washing machine isn't going to be worse... I personally wouldn't take the zipper out, either, but if it blows your skirt up, go for it, taking it out won't harm it. I wouldn't wash it in really hot water though, I'd probably opt for warm. And I wouldn't machine dry it. If you start with small steps you can always run it through again and do more. Now, this comes from someone who's never felted anything, including a 100% wool pouch she tried desperately to felt, so the advice is worth nothing, but I say, what's to lose at this point?

my friend knitted a shell that was too big for her and used her sewing machine to reseam it up the sides and it worked. I think chicknits may have some info on that technique.....

glad you're back!
