Learned several lessons with this one...

I posted my questions about how the yarn was twisted so tightly from the winding...

Here is a photo of the last row before I bound off.



You can see how tightly wound it was in those first five stitches, as opposed to the width of the yarn as it was on the hank before winding. That continued over and over throughout the knitting of the scarf.

When I asked at the yarn store how many balls I'd need for the finished scarf, she said one.

So I bought one.

And got a 37.5 inch scarf.



Don't know any toddlers who will be dancing over this color combo, so I think I now have a very expensive table runner. Or a huge hot pad.

But I learned some lessons here...

130 yards of Camp Stove is enough to make half a scarf.

Any future purchases of this yarn will be wound by hand.

You could turn it into a Scarf Rescue Hat. Unfortunately the pattern is in a book I don't have (yet) because I got it from the library and they demanded it back. However, your local library might have it. I'll bastardize the instructions if I try to tell you here, but someone else might know...

Sorry this happened. :(
