Lace on a Plane

In this world there are things which are inherently wrong. The list is long and varied.   Who knew one of these was a lace shawl in economy class on a European vacation?   Yet here I sit, me and my WIP shawl.   I was going to get a lot accomplished, after all, I have ten hours of sitting, right?   I was going to get at least to the next pattern change. Guess not. First on the list of "why nots" is the sheer number of people on the plane.   They walk by, they jostle elbows, they squirm.   Heck, I squirm.   Who designed these seats? Second, evidently my brain goes into a test pattern on a plane.   Yarn over, slip-slip knit becomes equivalent to string theory.   Incomprehensible to my poor brain.   I have often referred to economy as 'cattle class', and apparently it's what I deserve.   Moo. Third on my list is the service.   I have not flown for a long time.   Okay, a very long time.   All right, Lindbergh was the pilot on my last flight, okay?
