"Lifeline" residue

Ok, I goofed. I desperately needed to put in a lifeline (having
learned OH-SO-MANY-TIMES the hard way!)...but I didn't have cotton
yarn at the time that was thin enough.I had been told that using
cotton would minimize any discoloration. (I am using thin white cotton
yarn on 4-0 needles for the main project itself). So I have a bit of
residue in blue after pulling out the lifeline. Also, the yarn STILL
wasn't as fine as what I knitted with, so the stitches are a bit
bigger or something, I dunno---so you see a line where the 2 different
lifelines were.

How can I fix this? This is a doll sweater I am giving away to a gal
who has very specific ideas about what she wants for this outfit, and
I don't want to disappoint her. Ugh. HELP!

I guess I'm too impulsive and just wanted to get along with this
pattern that has dragged on too long already. Sigh.

You mean, wash it? or scrub it? Still on the needles----not sure how
to handle it when it comes off in a day or two....Afraid to scrub
it...might abrade the stitches.

Cotton doesn't abrade much. Blocking cures a lot of problems. "Scour"
in the context of knitting typically means "throw it in the basin with
hot water and wash it out thoroughly".

Thanks! Will try that.
