I've fallen madly in love with this scarf and have decided I need desperately to make it. The problem is, I don't really know where and how to start. As generous as the designer is with her posting of the charts for the letters, she doesn't give a pattern for the scarf as a whole. So, knitters on my flist, I need your help.

Does anyone know how to incorporate these charts into a scarf? I don't think it would be terribly difficult, but I'm not sure how to start, how much yarn I'd need, etc. Help?

I want to knit this bad enough that I'm thinking about finding a LYS that offers a bring-your-own-project class. Isn't it gorgeous?

Well, of course the PATTERN has a finite size based on the length of the quote. But the thickness of your yarn also makes a big difference (as does the needle size). This pattern knit in DK will probably be at least five or six inches shorter than this pattern knit in worsted. Standard length for a scarf is 70". The picture looks like worsted to me. You can find superwash merinos in DK, but it's difficult; you might opt for an acrylic blend if you're looking for something affordable. Hard to find a lot of natural fibers that are machine-washable.

Hmm. Then I probably will do the worsted. Because it should be longer, I think.
