Getting better -- fewer noticeable mistakes

(My lovely mother models her new scarf, in a yarn selected by her in her favorite color.)

Basically I restarted this project on Nov. 9 and finished it last night, Nov. 16 -- but I didn't get to work on it much last week or last weekend. This one went MUCH better -- I'm getting used to the eyelash yarn finally. There are a couple of places wher I picked up an extra stitch, and a couple of places where I have two rows of knit togther, so it kind of looks like a seam there. But all in all it looks MUCH better than the first two. I think I was being harder on myself because this one is for Mom.

METHOD:
This scarf is from the same pattern I've been using, from the Bernat Boa yarn label. It was made from 2 skeins of Yarn Bee yarn in the color "Blueberry." I used #10 needles instead of the recommended #9 -- which is slightly smaller than what I used before, and I think that helps to keep it soft. The stitches are much closer together and the "thread" is primarily on the inside of the stitches.

AND WHAT DID WE LEARN?
To pay attention to prevent getting an extra stitch. I know what I'm doing now, and can sort of feel it when it happens. I'm going through two layers of yarn instead of one. I also have sort of learned how to fix that after it's already happened.

Tension is still an issue. And apparently when I cast on, I'm not making it tight enough, because I'm still getting a sort of funnel cloud look -- the scarf is considerably wider at the bottom edges than it is through the center.
