Here it is before washing:

and after washing:

Yeah, my gauge changed halfway through. It didn't grow when washed... quite the contrary. The stitches tightened up a bit. I knit the hand towel using most of two balls of yarn. (I had a tiny ball left over... I didn't want to risk running short in the ending garter-stitch border.)

Thanks for the yarn, PaperMonkey!

Very nice! I've wondered about making hand towels!
I love the jean quilt also.
I'm trying to play catch up, not doing very well at it.
Huh, interesting. Because MAN, did my Hempathy Picovoli grow.
I wonder what made the difference?
It's a great looking towel!
Perhaps it has to do with how tight the initial gauge is? Did you dry it in the dryer?
