A few months ago, I finished the Crazy Dress I made for Jordan on some super-cheap, bargain basement yarn I got from Knit Picks. She loved it, crazy colors and all, and she likes to wear it around the house.
Unfortunately, the yarn was a little heavy for the pattern, and it really hung on her.
Eventually I decided to wash it, and since I didn't really care much about its condition, I washed it in the delicate cycle with some of my (non-hand-knitted) sweaters.
To make a long story short, it felted. I'm guessing the agitation of the machine was responsible, because I washed it in cold water.
Anyway, it fits her great. She wore it to see the Lion King today. Sometimes, experimentation works out.
