  Duh! I can't believe I didn't think of that! The reason mine fits me is that my mom (a seamstress from way back) measured me for the pattern and told me which parenthetical (5th one) to use pattern-wide. I hope it helps everyone who hasn't already become disheartened. I've been thinking of you guys, and hoping everything would come out right. If you don't have the heart to knit a whole new Shapely, maybe you need one of the tops from the new Knitty? For Pete's sake, you deserve something fabulous! My own Shapely should be done by the weekend and we'll just see if it fits, given my newbie knitter tendancy to think, "Oh, maybe it won't matter..." I'll post pics as soon as it's done.
