So here is why I'm not 100% satisfied with my new scarf. The shawl still rolls a lot. It's also muuuch larger than I wanted (I arranged the dimensions so that its a scarf more than a shawl, but its longer than I planned and also wider due to added seed stitch borders). I'm not sure yet to rip it and start a new scarf.
I cord bind off was 3000 stitches exactly!
If I'd made it as a shawl (wrap), it would stay more flat.

Ball winding. I changed to the contrasting color for the #StipluShawl.

Rolking drastically improved but still curling. I'll add 4 rows and I will have a veeeeeeery thick scarf. #knitting #StipluShawl
#knitting in the train. I started to work again on the #StipluShawl. I was a bit disappointed because it was rolling (see my previous post for the rolling), so I decided to add seed stitch rows, but I have 550+ stitches. I don't know how many I will need to prevent rolling. If I stop at next repeat, it will be 4 rows, and the rolling was quite severe. But if I do 8, I'm afraid the scarf will be wider than I want, and also I don't want to unravel. #knitters , @knitting, what do you think?

I progressed quite a bit on my #StipluShawl (it's a kind of scarf knit in stockinette stitch from the middle. Here I thread waste yarn in the live stitches to see the full size compared to other scarves. Unfortunately (but no surprise), it curls a lot ☹️ I'm not confident blocking will fix it and may add 1 or 2 repeats in seed stitch, it will take so much time and considerably modify the look. #knitters , @knitting, any opinion, tips ?

So now back to my #StipluShawl that I resize to have a #scarf. It's a sunny day and I'm on a beach at lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstättersee, lac des quatre cantons) but I'm not yet in the mood for swimming. #knitting and laying in the chair is perfectly fine. I want to make it around 23cm wide (width of another scarf I have) and I'm around 17cm now, so... It should be another 8 rounds of ~450 stitches +. But maybe I won't be able to stop!

2nd WIP: Stiplu shawl https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/stiplu-shawl (free!) it's a scarf knit from the center with turkish cast on. I thought I'd never manage to cast on that many stitches but I did, with straight needles. I love the yarn, it's so soft and bright 😍! From #SkillfullyTangled in Winterthur. I hope the scarf will not roll on the sides. I changed the pattern so that is a scarf rather than a shawl. Wound the ball with the help of the drill :D
