You can go with a peach ribbon but a couple tones darker than the actual sherbert colour of the yarn. That would:

Make it look less like an afterthought

Conserve your modesty!

The black yarn is too harsh, but ribbons with similar colour tones will work. Don’t use cream, unless it’s a rich, luscious expensive cream ribbon, or it will look cheap.

Ask me how I know. :*(

I think that it is cute, I agree with some of the other ladies though, try some cream color ribbon maybe.

I guess your idea of trashy and mine are quite different. I think it’s beautiful and sexy (a very different thing than trashy), and it looks great on. I like the ribbon and you could change that with your mood. If you really hate it, and it hates you, give it PROUDLY as a gift. And not only that, you did a great job!

Could you seam up the slits with Mattress Stitch or something?

I like the ribbon too!

I like the ribbon also! It looks very Hipster-ish.

I actually rather like the black ribbon – does that mean that I’M trashy??? :D Haha!!
A peach-coloured ribbon might be nice? Keeping the slits, but without drawing too much attention to them..

I’d panic about having to frog it. I’d most *definitely* never knit it back up. I hope you find a solution that you like; it’d be such a shame to toss it. :(

I don’t think it looks trashy at all, but maybe I just don’t have taste. ;)

I agree with Christy, with a cream ribbon it couldn’t possibly be trashy.

I’ll be sad when the saga of Fifi finally ends.

That being said – I don’t think it looks trashy. I rather like Becca’s idea of using a matching ribbon, perhaps therein lies the answer?

mmmmm, yeah, I’m thinking the ribbon up the side has a definite “afterthought” air about it. but I think it would work if you used a matching ribbon. but you’d have to use the same ribbon up top of course, too, and I kind of like the black ribbon up by the neck. but man, I definitely understand not wanting to frog and reknit… any last-chance options get tested before I even consider reknitting. then things get messy and scary and I reknit anyways… sigh. Yeah. I’ve been terribly unhelpful.
