Help me with my Tom Baker scarf please :)

[Standinginline]

Hi there ,I'm a very new knitter ,self taught and thought I'd give a Tom Baker scarf a try for me partner. Anyway ,someone mentioned slipping the edge to give it a neater look on the sides (I'm doing garter stitch ,and slipping knitwise ). It does look neater BUT the previous colour is seeping into new colour for a row or two if that makes sense. Will put a pic up. Anyone know how to resolve this ? I don't mind having to re knit it if someone can think of a better method to use :) Thanks in Advance.

It shows more with the yellow if you can see and just wondering whether I should just leave the slipping the stitch method out and knit the end stitch instead. ?

Or maybe I should just do a whole different stitch am getting a line of colour between each section

It will do.
If it bothers you then the only thing to do is to not slip the first stitch but to knit it in the new colour.
It depends how much it bothers you really - I suspect that when the scarf is being worn it won't be seen

Oh right. Its not just the edge stitch that you mean but that whole row of colour change. That happens with garter stitch.
You could do stocking stitch instead - knit one row, purl the next but then the front and back will look different anyway.

I would just leave it - but make sure that line always appears on the same side by always changing colors on an odd umbered row or even numbered row as you have been doing.

Thank you :) yeah that was a different issue ,was just making sure I was doing it right. The line on the back doesn't bother me so much ,it was more the slipping stitch and the colour seeping into next colour. I'm going to slip then just knit when adding a different colour like you suggested. Thanks again !!
