Done

And not a minute too soon, in my humble opinion.

Granted, 12 days is not exactly an eternity, but it can sure feel like one when you're looking down the wrong end of a 425-stitch row of linen stitch.
Still, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. I was worried for a while that it might be too short, but some severe blocking took care of that; the final product measures 60" x 6".A nice skinny scarf...because honestly, a fat one would have driven me to drink.

BTW, that last photo shows the wrong side, which isn't as woven-looking as the right side, but is still pretty nifty.

And now, on to a Second Sock, partner to one I started, um, last fall (I think). And happy Last Day of January!

Congratulations! Looks beautiful! Now I just hope you get as much pleasure from wearing yours as I am from mine.

Beautiful! I'm kind of waiting for the right collection of remnants to end up in my stash to knit up one of these.

It's gorgeous! And don't you feel virtuous using up leftover yarns to make something so very lovely?

This scarf looks utterly fantastic. Despite the work involved, I may have to start one to use up all those small balls of handspun I have.
