FO ~ scarf using Wool-Ease

[itscryttle]

Finally finished my THIRD project

This is a scarf for my 12 yr old. I made it with LB Wool-Ease thick and Quick. The color is Claret 143 and is REALLY beautiful, the pictures don't give it justice.

I used size 13 needles (my first pair of bamboo ) And I didn't follow a pattern. It was learning piece to do Stockinette. Then first end were mistakes that I decided to leave and make it a decorative end I basically just mimicked it for the other end. Didn't turn out EXACTLY the same since the first time was a mistake and all. But nonetheless its close.

ALso... I had issues with curling (note to self... don't do a scarf in Stockinette) but I blocked it last night after I was done with it and its laying pretty flat now.

Ok enough rambling... here it is.



and a close up of the ends that don't "quite" match

It looks great! I just finished one in same yarn - will add picturs tonight - I love how it turned out, it was very forgiving and made up so nice and quickly!

Oh ok, that's right.

One way to eliminate curling on the ends is to do 3 or 4 stitches on each row garter (so knit 3 or 4 stitches on each end each row) This helps make it lie flat.

It looks just WONDERFUL

Even if it curls a bit, it will be warm and soft and purty!!
