Saturday night

Tonight I have on needles:

One pi shawl that is giving me fits in the 576-stitch section.
Feather & fan is normally a pretty easy pattern but for some reason my
poor brain is having trouble with it

A Domovoi shawl from _Folk Shawls_. Ought to be an easy-peasy
pattern once I've got some rhythm going.

Socks hanging out in a seat-back pocket in the truck for stoplight and
hurryup&wait knitting.

A sweater for the boy that I started in December using stash yarn of
which I thought I had a lot more than I do. FInally found the correct
color (wrong dye lot, who cares) but since it's a wool sweater and
summer is almost here in Texas...

On Sunday I'm making my first angelfood cake in a decade, as well as
waffles for the upcoming week. I'm also firing up the smoker
(brisket, a turkey, whatever the neighbor decides to throw in there)
in the morning so I won't have to do much in the way of dinner cooking
this week either.

Off to bed!

There are a couple that stretch to nearly 5 minutes - busy
intersections at highway interchanges. I've heard there's an
intersection on the south side of town that makes people wait 6-7
minutes.

And of course the notorious four-car light that makes a body wait
through as many as 8 cycles during rush hour...

Allow me to reconstruct that: In December I started a sweater for the
boy...

Eh well, the not-so-amusing thing here is that I finished a Pi last
week. I knitted it plain vanilla and used EZ's lace - large diamonds
and some zigzags. It was a gift and I needed it in a hurry, so I
didn't want to put too much thought-requiring work into it.

The current pi is for myself. I decided to use other lace in the
48-round and 96-round sections. The 48-round bit knitted in something
Barbara Walker calls "spider stitch" (which is nothing at all like the
Shetland spider lace I have in a different book!) went pretty well,
though slowly because of all the centered double decreases and the ssk
decreases.

But this F&F, I swear, is going to be the death of me. I knitted and
tinked the same pattern row four times before I discovered the problem
was in the *previous* pattern round. Now the thing is in time-out
lest I burn it - but I diagnosed and corrected the problem so my
stitch count is correct again.
