I'm moving along nicely on my scarf.....and something is not right. I realize that my bobbles are too big. In reading the pattern, it said MB for make bobble. I googled knit bobbles, and the first 3 articles I read had a 5 stitch bobble. So I made 5 stitch bobbles.
As I move along, I now have 15 bobble along the edge of my scarf and it was bothering me that they are not the same as the picture... I re-read the pattern.... ug... they call for 4 stitch bobbles.
I knew it wasn't looking right...
Ribbit Ribbit....
It's only a few hours of work but I know I'll like it better with the more delicate bobbles. I'm also taking the opportunity to use a cream colored yarn this time. I wasn't crazy about the heathered light brown. This yarn is Briggs and Little. I have a couple of points done, and I like the size of the bobbles much better. But now I'm concerned that the Briggs and Little is not soft enough.... Seems a bit course in knitting this bit...
I'm contemplating another restart with softer cream yarn!!!

Didn't someone say on Friday that washing the Briggs and Little yarn with fabric softener made a difference?
