A while
back I finished a knitting project.....a knitted lace sampler scarf.
At the
time I did what all good little knitters are supposed to do, I wet
blocked the scarf and it looked pretty good. As I began to wear it,
the selvages began to “roll under with wear”, as you can see from the right hand section of the scarf.
Grrr!......this hid
all my hard work on knitting the fun lace patterns.....well, shoot!
So
recently I added onto one selvage a simple crocheted edging in a
slightly heavier wool two ply. The scarf was from a LionBrand
singles yarn. I began to wet block it for the second time.
I found
the longest piece of masonite I had and began to stretch and pin the
loooooong scarf.......
After I
finished the first half, I compared the re-blocked side with the
single blocked side.....and found I'd gained 2 or 3 inches, just by
re-blocking. Now lets see if the added border and re-blocking will
work better, when I pull the ends together for an infinity scarf.
