I have a question. How can I prevent the hem of a knitted garment from curling up. It cannot be blocked as I used a synthetic yarn, not wool. I ribbed with the same size needle as the body. Could this be the reason for the curling?

Hi,
I've trying getting the garment damp and then wrapping around a paper towel tube or wooden dowel going in the opposite direction it wants to curl. That helps a lot, even with synthetic yarns and sometimes just a little bit of steam.

Let us know what works.

I do think the smaller needles will help, plus when you seam the item and put it on, the stretch will probably keep it from flipping up. (I checked it out on the Ravelry discussion boards and the consensus there was the ribbing won't flip once the sweater is assembled and worn)

I am a Ravelry addict I think, I can get lost for hours there.

I love the swaps! I am doing three right now! It is so much fun making and receiving things! Especially in the winter.

I've only done one swap and I agree they are fun and best in the winter.
