and the problems start...
so i had been happily knitting my interlocking balloons scarf when i came to the end of the first ball of yarn and realised, to my horror, that 1 ball of yarn had only yielded me 10" of scarf. i had only bought 3 balls of yarn as that was all that was available at the lys, so this puts me in a really tight spot.
the pattern calls for 2 skeins of yarn (350 yards), so if i had bought 375 yards of yarn, i shouldn't be having this problem...should i? i'm using 100% merino dk yarn instead of sportweight yarn recommended, could that be why the amount of yarn is insufficient? would it help if i go up one needle size? please help :(

hmm. you're not making it wider than it calls for are you? the gauge is correct too? i just can't really figure out why that would happen either. the dk substitution should only make for a larger gauge than sport but the yardage is ok. i'm baffled too!!
Does your scarf look like the photo? I am wondering if it needs to be blocked longer. If so, your scarf should look wider than the photo's scarf. Can you drop a balloon and make the scarf narrower?
