Beware of the Knitting Monster!

The other night Mr. Spiderkate was messing around with the new camera and took this cool shot of my knitting bag, which we agree looks a lot like the knitting bag eating my knitting supplies.  Thus the knitting monster was born! Beware of the knitting monster, it's been known to eat any and all things knitting related without a second thought.  How cruel ;-)

CHOMP!

In knitting news - I'm working on a new sideways knit shawl design.  Actually, I spent the bulk of yesterday trying to make the stitches in the chart do something they didn't want to do.  I finally came to the realization that no matter what math I used, I couldn't get the stitches to do what I want.  I did fix another issue with the shawl, mainly where to place the increases for the body of the shawl, and as a result I'm pretty happy with it.  I'm knitting this shawl with the very lovely Paradigm yarn by Vice.  Seriously, this yarn is gorgeous and the color is out of this world.  I'm not ready to share a photo of the design yet (I will soon, I promise!), but I'll leave you with a photo of this beautiful yarn.
