Leibowitz Cactus II

I have been knitting away on the Leibowitz cactus.  I plan on giving it to Mike on Friday night as a belated, but awesome birthday present.  It's almost done, all that's left is to finish off the knitting and then stuff it and place it more permanently into its pot. 

My favorite is it's small appendage that hangs off the side.  It's kind of like the cactus is waving.
