Big enough...?

Did not run into any travel weenies on the way home on Thursday, thank goodness, so was able to knit about a foot of the Sari rainbow scarf:

...but now I'm thinking that the scarf itself is too narrow (3 inches wide) and not open enough to see enough detail of the ribbon (it's being knit on size 11 bamboos). The knitting does have a 'sproingy' feel to it, which is nice.


Here is a close-up of the knitting:



I'm also wondering if it is "rainbow-y" enough. I need another opinion.....
