Since the knitting thread dropped off...

[God*is*7]

I am knitting a scarf for an x-mas present.

knit one row, pearl one row.

But its curling round into a tube. Its quite a skinny one (I wanted to make a long Dr Who type scarf).

If I iron it will it flatten out? What am I doing wrong?

I believe stockinette stitch tends to do that. Perhaps blocking would fix it?

I'm trying to knit again, but I've really had to admit that it's not that I'm a beginner anymore - I actually just suck. I'm not sure I can make anything I'd put on my baby, although I did put an easy baby hat book on my amazon wish list.

Blocking?

I also suck, and don't know knitting words...

After it's done, basically you soak it in water and then put it in the shape you want (but get a real description before trying it).

Thanks very much.
Would rep if I were able.
