I just found out that silk fabric drops after it's knitted or crocheted via notes on a pattern on Knitty. A couple of years ago, I crocheted a Swing Jacket which I love...it was fun to do etc. However, it has grown via the droppage and needed some stitching to keep it around my shoulders. That's what I get for using a silk yarn around the yoke. Won't happen again when I do that pattern.
It is nice to know that there ARE patterns out there specifically designed for silk.
