Nupps!

Here is where I am on my scarf. It's about two rows shy of being halfway done, according to the pattern. However, I think I will make it a little longer. I do have three balls of this yarn and I'm not anywhere done with the first one. And I think or wonder if blocking will make it larger as well.

What is a nupp? It's where you knit 7 stitches and yarnovers (in this pattern) in one stitch, and then purl them all back together in the next row. It makes a little bobble. Here is a picture of some nupps; they are in the second and fourth columns (from the left):


These nupps are one of the main reasons that I don't regret starting this project over: They do take a bit of practice to get right.
