One Down, About 10,000 Left to Go
Just finished this scarf, which is destined to be a holiday gift for a co-worker:
It was inspired by this scarf over at Mason Dixon Knitting, though I took quite a few liberties. I got my first taste of Manos yarn. Oh my. How yummy.
I have yet to block the thing, so if anyone has any tips... the boucle is acrylic, and the thing basically wants to curl up edge-to-edge on me, so I'm not quite sure how to make it behave. Any ideas are welcome.

I would try just standard blocking first - make it damp, pin it down, and see if that works. But I think that if it's really stubborn about curling up you are left with two options 1) just accept the curl or 2) do a crochet border. I can't crochet my way out of a paper bag so I'm no help there, but that's the advice I've heard for this problem. Pretty colors, though! You co-worker is lucky!
