To appease my mind and let it know that more exciting knitting will be coming, I also ordered the Here Be Dragons shawl by Aurora-Alpacas. It looks like this for those who have not seen it:
I ordered the pattern off of Etsy.com. They people at Aurora's really do respond quickly. I had the pattern within an hour of ordering. Now I'm on the quest to find the perfect yarn for this shawl. I really want to use Helen's Laces, but they are so expensive (50 bucks a skein, and of course I need 2 skeins for this sucker). I'm going to check Magpie yarns sometime this week and see what they have in lace yarns. If they don't have anything I like, then I may have to place a knitpicks order. The alpaca cloud yarn has a lovely greenish blue that I like.
And since I have no more knitting content to show you, I leave you with a video of Spooky flopping on the floor. She did this while I was knitting on the slog. I think she understands how I feel!
Knit on...

Oooh, that shawl is nifty! I'm going to have to check it out. Have a wonderful Mother's Day, and good luck on the sox!
That's an amazing looking shawl! want to see it done.
Awww, Spooky is so cute! Forgot to ask how the Spookster is doing when we had breakfast. It was great to see you over the weekend! Thank you for my yarn!
Hope slog-knitting continues to progress...and fast....
Hooray- the slog is growing! Proud of you for accomplishing that. My cardigan has officially hit the black hole... it's not getting any bigger even though I've knit about 3 more hours on it. Grr.
