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?
