Notes

UPDATE: Blocking helped. Folded it, put it under a few heavy books until it was dry. Still curls more than I like, but the good news is, it’s so LONG (it touches the floor when I’m standing) that i literally have to wrap it around four times… so, it looks big anyway. I still wish it would lay flat, but I love the color and this yarn is to die for! When I do this pattern next time, I will use a stiffer yarn, I think this one is too soft.

Okay, finished it, made it even wider than the pattern calls for (by maybe 1?4 of an inch) but as soon as I bound off, it curled SO MUCH that it’s really thin and unattractive to me. I worked so hard on it, and this yarn is special, so I’m really struggling with how to fix it without getting annoyed with myself. I am trying to block it, but I donn’t think it will help. I don’t know what to do! Any suggestions?
