I have seen you say few times that "no textile ever is finished before it's been wet and dried again...

Some more knitting - finally done.

My current holiday knitting has finally been finished! Now winter can come (it was a scarf).

It is actually already blocked and the (two) ends are sewn in, so it really is finished and not just in the "finished but not completely so" stage that a lot of my knits spend a while in.

And because knitting progress is much nicer in pics... here you go:



This is what came off the needles - and the tiny ball of yarn is what was left. I modified it a tiny bit by leaving out one of the repeats of the middle section, though in retrospective I could have done that and still have one or two repeats of the last section - this way, I have three of the last section. Also good.

This scarf was supposed to measure about 150-160 cm in length after blocking, with about 20 cm of width.

Well...



Mine turned out more than 2 m long, and significantly wider than 20 cm. So I now have a really long, really wide scarf.

 
(I also realised that blocking a plain straight edge is better done from the middle outwards than from one side... made a huge difference. One day I will learn how to block, I'm sure.)



It is a really nice scarf/stole, and it was nice to knit as well. The pattern is Siren Song by Louise Zass-Bangham, yarn was my handspun.



One happy knitter.
