I am so grateful. Many thanks! 
? re "slip first stitch for nice edge"
Regarding pattern instruction that says slip first stitch for a nice edge (particular for scarfs, etc.), does that literally mean to simply slip the first stitch on the row (as though knitting it) from left to right needle and continue the pattern on the second stitch on?
I think so, but want to be sure. It looks odd when I do it....

Yes, got it. thanks a million!
Ah, it helps with rolling, too, which is always annoying...
If you did a scarf that is mainly stockinette, and put this edge on it, would it still roll?

Great idea! So you have no stitches between the two cables - garter on each end, two cables in the middle. Looks lovely!courier770 said:I'm working on a cable scarf that isn't rolling at all. I "borrowed" the cable pattern from a cape I am making...added 3 stitches on each end and I knit the first 3 and last 3 stitches on every row..no rolling. This photo was taken a week or so ago, I've gotten a bit more done since then.

Does look good when finished.
this scarf has a slipped stitch edging.
