Hi guys,
I'm in the midst of making Christmas presents. After one pretty not-so-
great attempt at stitching a tractor design on a hat, I am faced with
the same problem for a scarf and finally am crying "UNCLE!", as we
say. I have been saving images off the web (Mario and Sonic the
Hedgehog), then simplifying the colors greatly in Photoshop. Then I
print it life size. When I printed it on graph paper I had printed out
to my gauge, it was too intricate for the size, so I ended up top-
stitching it.

Now that I'm making a scarf with a picture at each end (UGH!), I have
decided to work in worsted on a size 4 needle. How can I switch to
smaller needles while maintaining the width of the scarf so that I can
reproduce the pictures more prettily? Or any other ideas? HELP!

Thanks guys!
