Finished Nova Scotia!

I’m guessing that the finished (but the blocking) shawl/scarf is about the same size as Annis by Susanna IC for knitty.com, and used about the same amount of yarn. I have between 160 and 200 yards of yarn left over.

After a light blocking, it's about 70 inches long and 12.5 inches tall. I soaked it, then pressed it in a towel to remove most of the water. I laid it on another towel on a table and shaped it (no pinning). The points are not super sharp, but overall it is mostly blocked. :-)

I really liked the "Russian bind off." It went quick and looks really nice and finished. Overall I'm pleased with this project, it's just a little smaller than I expected.
