not to forget the LK-ers....

This is a fairly easy tuck sampler using simple one-row-tuck stitch patterns that will all be comparable in width - the length will vary somewhat but you're just using the 1X1 and 3X1 needle selectors that come with the machine, so the manual needle selection is relatively quick. By turning the work back and forth between patterns you get textures alternating with the smooth, stockinette-look of the knit side of the next pattern, making the scarf look good from both sides. I finished it off by adding a 3 stitch slip cord that is attached to the edge of the scarf as you knit the cord - great learning experience because this can be used in a garment or expanded widthwise to make a really cute baby blanket, using a variety of colours...

Repeat 20 row tuck pattern, alternating pattern needle selection as desired.
Knit 500 rows. Cast off.
Slip Cord Edge Slip cord forms a tube of knitting. When attached to the work as the cord is knit, it looks nice from both sides. Carriage is set to slip in one direction, knit in the opposite direction, causing a float to form in front of the knitting on the slip row. The float will elongate the stitches slightly and form the tube. I knit this at one number tighter than main tension for tuck. Because this is all two-sided work - no right side or wrong side - can be attached to either side. Don't start at exact corner - the final join will look nicer and go neater if you start about 1 inch from corner.
3 ns to work. Carriage at right. Set to knit to left, slip (not knit) to right - right slip lever forward. Main yarn, ewrap ns and place yarn in feeder. Hang half edge stitch from scarf on left needle. K2R. Hang a claw weight on the 3 st part. Hang next half stitch 2 rows above first pick up. K2R. Continue in this manner all around piece. At corners, add a couple of rows, picking up same corner stitch to make cording fit around the corner without pulling too tightly. On cast-on and cast-off edge, hang half stitch and K2R for every stitch - don't skip one like on the selvedge.
Darn in tails and steam lightly as required.
Analysis: I thought this was a fairly easy knit but I do admit that I have a mid gauge garter bar ;-) and I really liked the edging - all done, I spent less than 3 hours and I would make this again! Hope the MN mkers like this!
