Monster Shawl

Here is the Monster Shawl:
This was one of the most demanding knitting projects I've ever conquered.  It started with a cast on of three stitches on November 27, 2011 (while I was in college) and ended with blocking on March 1st, 2015.  There were almost 1000 stitches on the needles when I cast off.
This beast contains approximately 1200 yards of 100% suri yarn mill-spun from two of our alpacas (Carmen and Winslow), nearly 75,000 stitches and 2250 glass beads.  Now I just need to find a movie star who will buy it and wear it to the Oscars.  Wouldn't that be cool?
