I haven't measured it yet, but I think it's about 3 1/2 feet by 4 feet.
Pattern: Cable Blanket (that link should make in possible for anyone to see my Rav page for this project. The Bernat website makes you register even to look at free patterns.)
Yarn: 10 skeins of KnitPicks Swish Bulky in Honeydew, which had been languishing in my stash
Needles: Giant size 10 circs
Mods: I only cast on 206 stitches rather than 230, and pretty much knit until I was out of yarn. That happened half way through the bind-off. I tried weaving in ends and using the trimmings (some of those ends were pretty long), but even then, I didn't have enough to finish. So I ended up picking out the bind-off and tinking one row, then binding off.
This is charity knitting for WRAP, and I finished it a whole 13 days early!
And now there is stealth knitting....

It looks so cozy! Love it!
What a great project - blankie and book. It looks very cozy.
Yay Swish Bulky. I like that stuff -- and the Honeydew color is beautiful. I don't think this blanket looks boring at all. Nice!
Gorgeous color and pattern! It looks very cozy:)
It might be boring, but it turned out great. :)
Don't you just hate that knitting that is so tedious to do winds up looking so great? It almost lures you into doing it again....
Nice blanket. Glad the yarn worked out for you with a little fiddling. That binding off always takes more yardage than one thinks when one is running out of yarn.:-)
The stealth knitting looks interesting. a leaf pattern? I'm a sucker for leaf patterns.
