Hello. I have recently received a really beautiful scarf that someone has hand knitted for me. It is knitted with stripes of two alternating colours of wool. The trouble is, it is about 80 cm too long (I know - long story - my fault entirely). Anyway, I don't have the heart to ask the knitter to alter it after all her hard work.
So my question is: is it possible to separate the scarf in to two pieces, where there is a join between two colours?
How can I do this without it unravelling?
Also, the scarf has lovely fringing. How do I remove that and replace it without it all becoming a huge tangle?
Finally, do you think it would be best if I asked another expert knitter to do this rather than trying it myself and potentially ruining the whole thing? (I can sew but knit very inexpertly.)
Thank you in advance for any advice!
