Flame Scarf
Yes this is a new project rather then one of the many WIPs lingering on my list. I'm easily distracted. Try not to rub it in OK? :)
Flame Scarf (Pre-Blocking)
I only used one ball of yarn, but I lost the label so I can't even tell you what yarn it was. Anyhow, its knit on size 13 needles using my standard knit three rows then do a row of knits with yarnovers then on the fifth row drop the yarnover so that the stitch is extra long. Pretty basic. And since I made it a bit wider it's a bit short (8" wide by 36" long). But I thought it was a pretty holiday color and it came out OK. Now I just need to block it. Any suggestions on how I would block this type of novelty yarn with out the "hairy" part getting yucky?

It's so pretty!
Maybe you could pin it into shape then lightly mist with water?

No idea on the blocking front (as I try to avoid blocking whenever possible), but I just wanted to say the color is great! What a cute piece for dreary winter days. :)

Thanks for the tip Laurie, I'll try that. And thanks for the compliments Mel & Julia!

I pretty much only block stuff that will benefit from blocking. Most of my novelty scarves go off the needles & onto the neck. Lace scarves of course get blocked, or you won't see the gorgeous lace pattern, but when the yarn is the focus, I just let them be.

I'm afraid I can't offer any knitting advice, but I can say that I think your scarf looks lovely. That color is fantastic. :)
