I have nothing. No update pictures. No rows. Just a very pretty yarn ball (no tangles, thank you) that once was Rows 9 - 39 of Motif 4. Grrrrr..... It's a good thing that I'm doing this for fun. ;-) The funny thing is that I still don't exactly know how I managed to rip out all of those stitches in such an ugly way. I just know that I had my knitting on my footrest right next to my laptop. I got up (quickly) and was carrying my laptop so that I could answer my work phone. 15 minutes later I had one ugly tangled mess. Needles out and yarn wound tightly around the cord on my computer. OK, I lied....I guess I know exactly how this happened. So, here's a picture of the prize. Again - total rights/acknowledgements to Melanie from Pink Lemon Twist for the beautiful pattern.

Oh, no! How sad. Were you close to being finished? It sure is beautiful!
Oh, I feel your pain. It sure is beautiful though.
It is stunning. I suppose this is where being a process knitter would come in handy! Sounds like you're handling it with grace!
Oh, and as to that Maggi pattern you were asking about. Go here: http://www.maggiknits.com/books/book5.asp#
It's the picture in the upper-right hand corner. If you like it, let me know. I'm holly over on ravelry. And I don't think that pattern is in ravelry.
Oh, NO!! I did the exact same thing this fall when I was knitting simurgh, and I almost burst into tears then and there. It certainly looks beautiful lying there all innocent like that! Good luck getting through those rows a second time.
My heart grieves for your loss. You'll feel better once you get back to where you were when you had your tragic accident.
Until then, I recommend heavy doses of chocolate...
