Magic Ball Afghan finelly finished!

I finally finished this afghan made from a magic ball of yarn. I started it last fall. I was going to donate it, but dear daughter decided she wanted it and she wanted it 72" long. I have been working on it Tuesday and Wednesday nights while watching American Idol, the only tv show I watch every week. I will be starting another afghan soon as I have several magic balls to use up.
