Remember those pillow cases I started years ago (really, it has been THAT long)? I finished knitting them. And I only show these pictures as evidence. They are not done...but the intarsia part is. I have embroidery to do on the yellow flower case and then seaming. I finished the embroidery on the other case and thought I had finished the seams...
Notice that the back of the second case is a little...screwed up. 
Well, I sewed both seams together, flipped the case right side out and realized I'd put it together all wrong. So this is the pillow case seamed properly on one side and improperly on the other. I still have to buy some buttons for these things. I can feel it...Soon I will have 2 pillows!
I'm also working the Mystery Shawl:
Not sure how I feel about the "wing" so I haven't worked on it for a while. This is it unblocked and barely worked into clue 2. Oh, and someone was wondering where I've been. I just got back from a week long traipse through New England with my class and 3 others. We went to many, many museums. Most notably the Peabody Essex Museum, the Yale Art Museum, and the RISD Museum. I think I saw something like 10 historic houses in addition to those. It was rigorous but amazing. I didn't take many pics, but if anyone else posts theirs online I'll send you guys a link.

woot! I can feel it too! TWO PILLOWS!! They look great. I can wait to see them when complete!
Really, people like us who slog through intarsia projects should been given some sort of reward!!
I think the shawl is lovely and the more completed ones I've seen like at Yarn Harlot are turning out very nicely, but I don't think I could do a mystery knitalong! I couldn't devote that kind of time to something I wasn't sure I'd like. So I'd totally be where you are, not sure how I felt about it and thus not working on it. I hope you keep going though!! And the yarn is so yummy looking it should help you.
The pillowcases look amazing. Way to go! And I agree with Jen on the shawl. It is looking good but I understand your reluctance.
