Election Day

The long campaign is finally over. We can all breathe a sigh of relief'; no more TV or radio ads, no more signs littering our roads and highways, and no more annoying phone calls (at least from the political parties). Best of all, no more negative, less than truthful accusations flying across the airwaves.
It's a drizzly day. The lines were not horribly long at the polling place. It feels good to do one's civic duty.
It's a good day to knit. I have several WIPs to choose from.
I won a $25 gift certificate from Hampton Bay Yarns for my orange Monkey socks entry in the September Sockdown in the Sockknitters Anonymous group on Ravelry. It's very exciting. I never win anything. Maybe it's a good week to try the lottery.
Here are the socks. The yarn is Katia Caricia, a 100% merino sock weight yarn I bought in Madrid in June. It's soft and the socks are very comfortable.
