That scarf is great. I hate knitting ribbed stuff, but I am tempted by your beautiful scarf.... And, three days? Hmm..</p> <p>Also, I just joined the six sox knitalong as well. Those fluted banister socks are super easy~ just knitting & purling. :)</p> Felicia! That scarf is great. I hate knitting ribbed stuff, but I am tempted by your beautiful scarf…. And, three days?

Hardly! But near the end of the scarf, I did figure out a way to make the 2nd stitch less bubbly -- I wrap the first stitch the opposite way... It seems to use less yarn and so the second stitch lays nice and flat!</p> <p>The scarves are in Zara Plus which is a merino superwash wool. I'm not planning on blocking these and even though they are machine washable, I think I'm going to recommend that they be dry cleaned anyway... Probably the best thing to do is to knit up a swatch and then machine wash it to see how it will do.</p> Perfect edging?!? Hardly!
