The first is a simple ribbed scarf made on the 10&quot; AKB. I used Cascade Vintage yarn, about 1.5 skeins. The entire project went fairly quick since there aren&#39;t any tricky patterns to follow, just a ribbed wrapping. I used three washers as spacers on the board to keep the stitches a little snug. After it was finished, I hand washed and blocked it, and the scarf &quot;grew&quot; about half a foot, which was just what I hoped.<\/p>\n<div>The second project was a shawl, made with a worsted weight, hand dyed wool\/bamboo blend. I had purchased about 600 yards and used most of it. I followed the pattern for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knittingboard.com\/v\/vspfiles\/lacey_scarf.pdf\">Faith Schmidt&#39;s Lacey Scarf pattern<\/a>, found on the AKB site, and the 28&quot; board. I used 51 pegs and repeated the pattern five times. For this shawl, I put the spacers at the 1&quot; width, and I knitted two sides, then sewed them together. If I had to do this over, I would shrink the width to 41 pegs, make it one piece, and add an additional 6&quot; or so. I did block it with an iron and spritzes of water from a spray bottle. I didn&#39;t want to tackle washing and blocking it so close to Christmas in case I had a disaster on my hands.&#0160;<\/div>\n<div>It was fun to make projects with these boards.
