Thanks!  It came out to just over 6.5' long & 6" wide.  Holy crap, that was a lot of knitting.

The scarf is beautifully made Larissa and the color is lovely! Cable stitch kinda scares me. Maybe when I have time to actually sit down and concentrate on one thing, I could do it. :P

Super pretty, Larissa! Tell me how you keep the edges from curling...every time I make a scarf it rolls up so badly it's almost a tube!

Always follow Grandma's advice!  Many times I've found the "old fashioned" way of doing something was far better than anything anyone has come up with since.

Absolutely Beautiful Larissa
Now that is definitely a handmade scarf… it must have taken many nites… knitting by candlelight?  Well… OK no candles … but many nights to finish! WTG!

That looks great Larissa!

I haven't tried to the warm towel with an iron (my MIL says she's melted a few projects that way...!) but I do wet block most things so they lay nice and flat :D
