Yikes on the brain cell slippage. Better get that shawl going while you are still able. Personally I'm going to try that forest path stole that was all the rage a few years ago. I figure it will be more difficult to really screw up with the small units of the entrelac to do at a time. I applaud those of you insane, I mean, intrepid enough to start a shawl with a bazillion stitches to go. On second thought maybe what is needed is a bit more brain cell slippage. Just a bit.
Aarlene, I think you have it there -- it's a delicate balance between brain cell slippage and remaining brain cells. Too much either way, and nothing works.
I'd forgotten about the Forest Path stole. That's a good one, that is.
I'm currently spinning what I hope will be something suitable for one of the Icelanding Three-Cornered shawls.
Some nights I think about how many things I really want to knit, and how little time there really is, and I end up in a cold sweat.
K, please don't send Princess into the darkness. We novice knitters need inspiration. We need to see that it's not beyond possibility to work on amazing projects like the Princess. We need skilled artists like you to lead the way. Please continue your incredible work.
I love it.
Of course I want to know how you did it.

It's called a Newspaper Snippet Generator -- http://tools.fodey.com/generators/newspaper/snippet.asp
If that doesn't come through (can't remember how to do links in the comments), I'll send it to you via email.

And I've just realized why "illusive" looked wrong to me. Because it is wrong. It should be "elusive".
Sigh.
I swear, the older I get, the more brain cells slip out my ears.

I *so* hope that you start working on the shawl again! For those of us who know that we can't manage this project right now, you are an inspiration.
