The Doctor is In

Dear Mom,

48,944 stitches

9.34 feet ( not counting the fringe)

It is DONE.
And The Young Lady loves it, making it all totally worth it.

I used the pattern found Here, and modified it by slipping the first 3 stitches of every row, purlwise, thus creating a little tube for hiding all the yarn ends. Much neater and faster this way, than weaving all those ends in after all that knitting. 

Love,
Kim, who is now knitting something for herself that is not 9 feet of garter stitch.
