Of course, my little friend Elion Koteas didn't vote, but the sticker looks cuter on him than me.
I'm happy to say business at the polling site was very brisk, and had been all day, according to the workers. Signing in next to me was a first-time voter. Whoever signs a first-timer in rings a bell, and the room applauds. The young woman was rightly a little embarrassed, but I couldn't help but feel good about the whole thing.
I've cast on for a pullover sweater. This morning, I spent a lot of time looking for cardigan patterns, because that's where my real itch has been. None of the patterns, though, lined up with the amount of yarn I have, so pullover it is. It's called a Condo sweater, and I've made it before. You use sizes 6 and 15 needles, alternating rows. This pattern has been in my knitting folder since shortly after I started knitting, so it may be out of fashion at this point.
Don't care if it is. It's super-comfortable. Does anyone else remember when free patterns hung in front of the yarn bins?

I remember those free patterns very well. That's how I got hooked on sock knitting. It was a pamphlet in front of the yarn that did it for me. Of course, they didn't sell the yarn. In those days I had to order German yarn by filling out a form in a catalog and mailing it.
