Here are two pictures of the centerpiece. IMG_0009a is an overall view of it, IMG_0011a is a close-up view of one of the larger outer pineapples. They shouldn't take too long to view, both files are less than 100K in size. I've left them as UUencoded, most news readers can handle that. I use Agent, and it handles MIME and yENC files as well.
This thing took almost four months and over half of a 2700 yard spool of size 10 thread to complete. It's almost 36 inches across the points.
As soon as I can get some pics of the shawl, I'll post them as well.
