The long and winding road...





This is the infamous scarf being blocked on my spare bed. I had a problem with the scarf curling in on itself. There were three solutions:
1. Frog it and start again, but this time knitting a 5-stitch border to combat any rolling
2. Crochet a border or knit an i-cord border (too fiddly and could look rubbish)
3. Sew an ivory satin or velvet backing (ditto) ... or

4. Steam and block the living daylights out of the scarf. Leave to dry for 24 hours.
The blocked scarf should be much longer than the unblocked version. Then I can fold it over and hem it.
I want to add some more sequins by hand, so this will hide all the work as well!

Bingo!
