There is an important factor to consider if you do the scarf in separate
sections, joining as you go. When you unpin the worked section of the scarf
it will pull in from the pricking size. You are going to have to restretch
the first section to repin it down for joining the second section, and then
the same again for joining the third section to the second. The type of
silk I have seen used in Germany for these scarves seems to pull in a lot,
so this could be a real difficulty to overcome.
May be I mentioned earlier: whenever you work with silk, make the lace
wet and let it dry before you pull out the pins. It will pull in much
lesser and hold the shape better.
