Knitters, a quick blocking question

[Rachels]

I made an eyelet scarf out of Classic Elite Attitude (pima cotton / mulberry silk), and tried blocking it by pinning it and dampening it thoroughly with a spray bottle. It still rolled up after it dried, though. What would you try next?

I'd try pinning it down, covering it with a damp towel, and steaming it with an iron.

Try what the PP suggested, but I would also turn it so the direction it turns in faces up. Might not help, but then again it might. Some stitches are more prone to rolling than others.

I generally take my work to the yarn shop and ask. Locally we have wonderful sales clerks who seemingly devote their lives to knitting and crocheting. They always have great suggestions.
