Is the glass half full or half empty? Is my Nadia’s Infinity Scarf too long or too short? I say BOTH!!
I followed the pattern to a “T” but my gauge was off. You start knitting with Noro Silk Garden, which had a larger gauge than the other yarns, so I think I started out with the correct gauge. The designer even states that Lupita Nyong’o is tiny and you may need to add width and length. I am not tiny, but did not add either! However, Lettie has no arms and I still could not wrap this around her neck (Lettie, you have no arms, but you do have a lovely neck!!).
I did a 3-needle bind off to mimic the chain stitch in the photos. There were several instructions in the pattern that did not seem to match the photos, so I did the best I could. I will wear this when I go to the movie this weekend – I tried and failed last weekend. The theater was old out!
Beautiful! You are an awesome knitter!

I’m waiting for my yarn to arrive and in the meantime I’ve been tossing my stash to see if I have anything that will blend with the original colors. I’ve found a ball of hand spun that looks like it should work very well so I’m thinking about adding a section in the center to generat e some length — I’m 5’8” so I’ll need some extra fabric.

I would say it looks perfect. Really, it’s wide enough and looks good on Lettie…and I’m betting it does on you too! So beautiful. Agree, you are an awesome knitter.

Hi there, I am about to start on this Shawl and I was wondering if you held the fingering yarns together throughout as it says in the beginning and if so could one use it DK weight instead of holding the two together? You’re sure looks absolutely beautiful.
