Breaking yarn is hard to view

So, um...had a bit of a disaster with the shawl as the yarn got caught in between the needle and cord (I'm using circulars with interchangable cords and occasionally they start to unscrew) and the yarn broke in the middle of the row and immediately started to unravel to both sides.

Amazingly enough I didn't throw it across the room, scream or otherwise do more than swear.

Not too big of a disaster since I did have a life line and ripped back the four rows I'd done but I now have to pick up stitches and figure out where my markers go again. I'm thinking I may wait to do it as I'll have new and shiny yarn arriving this week that I had been thinking about redoing the shawl in so I'll evaluate that yarn and decide if it will work. If it does I may just start a new one and go back to this one when that one is done.

Not much going on...kind of glad I didn't do much knitting over the weekend since it would have sucked far more if I'd been close to the end of the pattern repeat. Instead I went and bought art and actually did errands and the like. Shocking, I know.
