Creeping Onward

I spent nearly two hours last night at Purlygirls working on one quarter of one round of Frost Flowers. Something wasn't right and I couldn't figure it out. I finally fudged in a fit of frustration and now, ten rounds later, it hasn't come back to bite me in the ass. According to my shawl calculator I am 7.4% done with the shawl. This means it should take me at least another FIFTY days to finish it at this rate. Is it warm in here? I don't feel so good.
