Starting a scarf...

Sep 12, 2009 17:04

Hi, first-time knitter here.  I'm really excited about knitted a Fourth Doctor scarf, but...

I would like to buy yarn at my local yarn store instead of over the internet, if possible, but I'm a bit overwhelmed by trying to colour-match.  I think I'm basically restricted to Patons and Bernat (and possibly TLC and Red Heart).  Has anyone used any of these (and could you tell me which colours)?  I really don't want to get the colours wrong because it'll just bug me, and I'm open to doing any season besides 18.

Also, I'm planning to use US 6/UK 8 needles, but because of the posts about length a few months ago, I'm a bit worried that they might be too small to get a very long scarf.  Will it be okay or does anyone think I should go up to a US 7?
