I finally made mine. This is a great pattern. Very quick and easy but interesting and flattering. Mine is made from Linus by Elann.com. It is a 100% linen yarn, worsted weight. Super fuzzy and fluffy at first but really nice texture. After a machine wash and dry (I LOVE linen!) Most of the loose fuzz is gone and it gets all slinky and shiny. The pattern is definitely written for a fiber with a bit more memory so I took four stitches out of the extra small size to prepare for the inevitable expansion of the fabric. It fits perfectly! If I were to do it again, I would make my gauge much tighter since the removal of fuzz rendered it a bit too transparent for bare wear. Now I just need to find an appropriate undergarment and she’s ready to go out.
