Scarf in Action (Temporarily)

I tried again to get a decent picture of this scarf. The color is much better in this one--it does actually glow a little.

It isn't really cold enough to wear this, even though it's a light scarf. I live in New Mexico, so I'd better give it a month yet.

As far as the blocking decision goes, I've decided that I like it just fine as it is. I may have to think about it again when it gets dirty and needs washing, but that can be put off for a while.

To Block or Not to Block?

I just finished the Montego Bay scarf. I started it a few months ago, but it was a little boring to knit so it took a while.

The yarn in question is most of a skein of Schaefer Anne in a really bright orange-and-pink colorway. I tried my best to capture the color, but it's kind of washed out in these photos. That orange should be more like a traffic cone. I like the yarn (I'll just have to choose carefully when I wear it with anything). The scarf is about 95" without the fringe, and I could easily have added 2 or 3 more feet if I had used all of the yarn.

Now I just need to block it. Or maybe I don't? I like the slightly bumpy texture as is, but it does curl an awful lot.

Still thinking...
