Hey Barry!

PLEASE do an IMPROV yarn instructional video! I'm at a stall until I figure how to knit Improv! Thank you!

do you turn the row each time???

what size needle and how many stitches for a knitted cha cha scarf? I have two skeins and I wound them as Barry said and threw away the labels not knowing the pattern was right there. Thanks anyone.

Help! I am new to knitting and have finally completed a scarf as a Christmas gift, and today is 12/21. How do I finish it, or bind it off?

[TrendsetterYarns]

@nmlnp13 To finish Cha Cha, Bind off as you would any other item by knitting one stitch, then a second and passing the first stitch over the second. Knit one additional stitch and pass first over second. Continue in this manner until you have two stitches remaining. Cut through the 5th open box. Fold cut edge over and line up boxes to hem the end and continue to bind off until 1 stitch remains. Cut a piece of flat yarn in matching color. Pull cut piece through remaining stitch and remove needle

@TrendsetterYarns I have a question, I am trying to finish like you said, but having a hard time understanding.  So I just pull the cut piece through the remaining stitch and then knot it?

[TrendsetterYarns]

@nmlnp13 Continuing from below... Weave one end of flat yarn through edge of stitch and knot tails together. Bury the tails and enjoy the scarf. The flat yarn will not show as ruffles will cover. NOTE: **If you want end to really flair like cast on, when binding off, knit every other box and not every box so extra fabric will exist and stitches will be loose.** Good luck!

Lovely yarn. I can't wait to start knitting with it. I am going to use the pattern for the cha cha scarf in Interweave Knits Holiday 2010 magazine. Can't wait.

Hi Barry, I love this yarn. It creates beautiful fabric. Only thing, I need to know how to add on a new ball of Cha Cha to Knitted Cha Cha on the needles and ready for the new ball. Please post a video. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks Barry - fun yarn! I got a hank at the Ball & Skein in Cambria. I made a quick scarf to get the feel of it. Now I'm thinking ruffled cuffs on fingerless gloves and then possibly applying it to the top of a felted evening bag for a ruffled embelishment. What a fun yarn.
