I had said that I wouldn't cast on for the dragon shawl last night, but truth be told, I was probably going to. I was going to have a ball of yarn and needles there with me along with the pattern, so it was inevitable. So while I was winding the ball for the second time, karma slapped me in the face and told me to finish the damn slog before I go any further with the lace.
The first skein of Helen's lace is now in three smaller center-pull balls because it turned into one giant knot and broke on me three times. Thankfully, I bought two skeins of the stuff to be able to have enough for the pattern. One skein may have been enough, but I figure I can always use the extra for something else later on. Now it may be used for a lace scarf or something once the shawl is done.
So I went home after that and wound the other skein up into a ball to store it nicely. I swore I wouldn't cast on.
Oh, and if you see karma somewhere, give her a good kick in the arse for me...
Knit on...

That dragon shawl looks like a ball buster, if only because the damn charts arrive in a packet that weighs 5lbs! Are you going to tape your charts all together? (I recommend photocopying them first if so...)
That is on the list of "had to buy it, don't know if I'll ever knit it" heh
