Traveling Scarves

I joined a Traveling Scarves group on ravelry. The group I am part of will be doing a lengthwise scarf. I was hesitant about doing a lengthwise scarf because it will be so wide. Plus all the stitches I have to cast on. I'm glad I joined that group though. The lengthwise scarves are really pretty. I ordered my 47" circular needles in US8 off ebay. I should get them no later than January 19. I'm going to let the others working o my scarf choose the color yarn they use and just ask for it to be in worsted weight yarn and garter stitch. It'll be the easiest stitch to knit.
