At 4:20 a.m. this morning, M boarded the airport shuttle and flew to Keystone, Colorado for a conference. I’ll pick him up Friday around 5:00 p.m. This gives me quite a bit more free time than I am used to. Plus, Friday is a university holiday, Cesar Chavez Day, so I can stay home without taking any vacation time. I’ve been thinking what I would like to do during that free time, and this is what I’ve come up with.<\/p>\n

Finish my March pair of socks, Roger<\/a>, by Anne Hanson of Knitspot<\/a>.
\n<\/a>
\nI noticed that the Yarn Harlot has already finished an entire pair<\/a> of Roger socks for her March socks. I’m just going to assume that I got more biochemistry experiments done than she has done so far this month. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I would also like to get my Frost Diamonds shawl done, which currently photographs like a big lump. I still have 56 g left in my first skein! I’m half way through a third repeat of the main chart. It takes me nearly an hour to do two rows. I’ve got about 10 hours before the bind off.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Now that M is not in his office for a few days, I’d like to get my shawlette, fleck stitch version of the Frost Diamonds shawl blocked on its vast floorspace. I may have forgotten that I knit this for a few months<\/del> weeks.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, I want to get this sweater I bought, which fits me nearly perfectly, measured so I can use Ann Budd’s The Knitter’s Handy Book of Sweater Patterns<\/em> to design and knit a different version with a simple stitch pattern from Annie Maloney with this Venezia worsted I received as a Christmas present a couple years ago. The sweater has 3\/4 sleeves and set-in sleeves and classic ribbing as edges. Very basic and wearable.

All this should keep me busy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
