Jofrog is Knitfrog!
September 15 2004
Yesterday was Massachusettes' state primary. There was only one person on the republican ballot, none on the Libertarian or Green-Rainbow ballots, and only two contested races on the Democratic ballot. Do people show up for an election that they (a) probably don't know about, and (b) probably don't care about? If you said probably not, you'd be right! There was a 3% turnout at our precinct! This means lots and lots of sitting and knitting time. The last election (in May) was slow as well, I knit a poncho then. Yesterday I knit a sleeve! Here is a close-up of the lace edging. There are two rows of this lace on the yoke. It looks so much prettier in real life than in the old black and white pattern. Julia described this color as "Ashes of Roses". I love it! No longer is it the "pink cardi" in my mind, now it's the "Ashes of Roses Cardigan". It's so special it gets capitalized! Election Day Knitting
