I did it!

After many many months of work, I finally finished what I've taken to calling the Afghan of Doom (because of its sheer scale and the occasional frustration involved in making it). My mother commissioned this and paid for the yarn. After I show it off to the ladies at knitting circle this coming Tuesday, I'll mail it to her.

Here are pictures!
