Here is my final outcome of the scarf that I was finally able to finish, And I managed to finish it right before Christmas.
The main purpose of me making this scarf was because the one that I wanted was roughly about £200 and came from america, so rather than spending that amount of money I decided to make one. And in total it cost me roughly £40 to make which saved me a lot of money.
The scarf is 50cm wide and 251cm long which is 2 and half meters long, the wool that I used is hayfields, chunky with wool. As I am 5ft9 this scarf sits just before my knee and it's quite thick. I genuinely love this scarf to bits and there isn't a day where I don't wear it. AND it's washer safe so I'm able to clean it and throw it into the washer machine when needed.
It has been at least a good while since I had last knitted and managed to forget how to cast on, off and everything in between. To reteach myself I was able to find a few links on youtube that I found quite helpful. Obviously there are some faults with the scarf like one end being wider than the other but these mistakes happen and you learn from that.
Currently I am wanting to do a thinner grey scarf with bigger stitching and thicker wool which would be interesting.
