hi, Phyllis,
I am bowing to the sweater experts on this one! I'm anxiously waiting for their
answer though --- great question!

Anyway in making this sweater I recall the other cardigan was bulky in the bust
area. I am hoping that someone can answer my idea as to whether I am correct in
my thinking or not but here goes. My thoughts are if I go to a smaller size
needle - just one size - it would take out some of the bulk. I know I could do
decreases but I am not sure how many to make it work. I am hoping to keep the
same stitch count as the lost sweater.
