but not the scarf. Thanks to my brilliant, knitting bloggy friends my first completed knitting project is improved. Many thanks to Kimmie and Heather for their suggestion of adding a row of crochet. It definitely helped and now there is only the slightest tendency for the edges to curl in. I appreciate you both. In the future I will try Christen’s suggestion of opposite stitches on the ends of each row and Kimmie’s of slip stitches on the ends of the rows to see how they work to prevent the problem from the start. Learning to knit is proving to be quite fun and satisfying…with a little help from my friends.
Here is the improved scarf with added row of crochet…
In closing, a note to Lennie…may your day be every bit as blessed as you have made mine. Thank you for the lovely card. Though I am beginning to feel better, your sweet thoughts warmed my heart and made me feel even better. You are so dear.
Until next time…

That`s a beautiful scarf! I love the colors and good idea adding that row of crochet.

the edges look great! I don’t knit or crochet, but my sister made me a scarf (which I’m using like crazy this winter), and she had issues with her edges, so there’s definitely some technique and talent that must be had to get them right. glad to see you’ve got some of your creating groove back.
how fun that you are learning to knit! My grandma taught me once when I was little, then I forgot, then learned the throwing yarn way again at a fibre class, then forgot, then taught myself, then forgot…then my grandma showed me once again a couple years ago how to knit the continental way (I think it’s called) she taught me when I was little and I haven’t forgotten, but only knit occasionally…ok. that’s my knitting story 🙂
You are SO right….Lennie is a dear one!!!
Gorgeous scraf and such a collaboration!!!
Happy weekend to you!

It’s very pretty. Your yarn was a lovely choice. Glad you worked out the curve… Can’t wait to see what you whip up next.
The scarf is super, I love the added details! Did you know that when you knit your body produces the same endorphins as if you had a purring cat on your lap? It can be quite relaxing, with or without the curl! Christen
