Oh Wow! Your coat is magnificent! What a huge project. Maybe after a break you can do some little projects for more immediate gratification.

I'm astonished! That is just awesome! The longer I look at it the more impressed I become.

I'm not surprised that you don't want to pick up another hook. If I were you, I'd be ready for some small, cute, simple amis or hats or something.

Very well done!

There's nothing finer than a man in a kilt.

Oh My! (ok, that doesn't cover the shock, awe and astonishment that 'oh my' is supposed to cover.) That is more than beautiful. Stellar!

I have to agree with RedTartan and Sarahcrit, do something little, quick and cheap. instant gratification can be an excellent balm.

My goodness. I applaud you for sticking with it to completion! Wear it with pride and a great deal of accomplishment. I'd never have the patience for such a piece of crochet. Well done!

That is am impressive sweater. It looks quite complicated with different stitch patterns.  I find that a nice hat or single crochet project can be nice after a project like this.
