Tivoli tee solved!
Kathy, the pattern creator, emailed me back after my crisis email with a very pleasant attitude :) Turns out, I misinterpreted the sizing for the pattern - it's actually meant for someone with a 34" bust.. no wonder it's huge!
What doesn't make sense to me though, is why a garment that is 31" at the bust is supposed to fit someone with a 34" bust. Can someone explain that to me? I am totally confused.
Well, looks like it's back to the beginning on this project, plus some math :P Hope my Andean Silk arrives soon so I can get back to my lace poncho instead of facing this mistake ;)

Hi, I've been thinking of making the Union Sq Market sweater, so I've been checking out knitters' blogs. I understand your problems with fit, I think everybody has them... In fact, there is a Knitty article all about fit. This is where I learned about "negative ease": the sweater is smaller than the wearer, but will strech when worn and magically fit. Check it out! http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring05/FEATspr05TBP.html
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the link. I had seen that article back in the Ribbon X-Back KAL b/c there were so many issues with negative ease there, but it might serve to take a refresher ;)
Are you a part of the Union Square KAL?
