Shipwreck Shawl

I'm starting up a new project, since I have nothing on the needles right now.
I'm going to start up the Shipwreck Shawl by Kittying Harpy on Ravelry. It calls for 1320 yards.

*___* So it's quite a large project.
I'm using Manos Del Uruguay, Fino in the Garnet Brooch colorway. It's a silk/mohair blend. SUPER SOFT.
 I'm not adding beads to this because of the insane amount of time it would take to string on 5,000 beads. Sure, the overall look might be cuter, but there's no way I have the patience for that.

I got to the 5th round of the pattern, and noticed that I have an extra yarn over, so I frogged the whole thing and decided that I'd start over on my DPNs.
Well, I dropped one of them and the floor ate it. >:/  I swept the floor hoping to find it, and nada.

Guess I have to wait until I get home...that or try again on the circulars.
