This is really beautiful! How many inches long is the finished project? What size needles did you use?

Size 10 needles gave me about 62 inches long (without the fringe). It's actually longer than I wanted, and if I do it again, I'll make it shorter. All depends on how tightly you knit, the yarn you use, etc. So, you can use a smaller needle, or cast on less stitches, etc. All will affect the length of the final item. Be sure to vote for me!

It really is an easy and fun project. I especially liked seeing it take shape quickly - after only a few rows.

Awesome job! How long did this take to do? It looks like it had a lot of work put into it! +1 rating.

Not very long at all-just a couple of days (but I work full time). It's a really impressive beginner project, and a wonderful use for all that left over yarn we all have hanging around!
