izzy: birds flying ([art] only nitwits like to knit)

i finished this scarf exactly a week ago, and i've been wearing it almost every day since. this morning i discovered a HOLE in it where no hole should be! it looks like the yarn just broke. if anyone has any tips for fixing it, i would be terribly grateful.

broken

i have some similar weight and color yarn, but none of the original stuff (there was only like a foot of it left anyway). also i don't know why the image is on its side. it's right side up on flickr. sigh.

I always fix holes in knitted stuff (gloves, etc) by darning it:

But the patch does show, especially if it's not quite the same color yarn. The second link shows how to fake a knit stitch when you're darning, which looks better but is something I've never tried (I just weave straight across), so I don't know how difficult it is.
