The Knitting That Must Be Finished Today!

The laundry will have to wait and so must the cleaning from yesterday's home church gathering. No supper on the table until this dishcloth is done!

Tomorrow my alarm will go off at 3:20 a.m., and I will report to the Fort Defiance voting precinct by 5 early-o'clock to begin my stint of volunteering all day at the polls for Virginia's dual primary. I promised a lady I worked with during last November's local election that I would knit her a washcloth and bring it to the February primary. She probably doesn't even remember, but how can I show up without it after promising?

Her kitchen is burgandy and black, and since I'm hooked on these washcloths with the stripe down the middle [#4 on the link], I'm knitting this two-toned cloth to match her color scheme. The burgandy Peaches and Cream was mailed to me by my sister in South Carolina after I couldn't locate any of that color around here.

I have to say that I received the yarn in plenty of time to have this knitting finished, but what fun is it if you can't frantically put in the last stitches just before you need to give it away? If I survive tomorrow's 16-hour day at the polls, I'll write later about the bird seminar I attended on Saturday afternoon--which is another reason this dishcloth isn't finished...

What a thoughtful thing to do! Enjoy your day knitting! You will have a long day ahead of you tomorrow. Are you taking along more knitting for slow times? :-)

Have a great time at the polls. She will love her dishcloth--our red one is almost too pretty to use. We usually do our best crafting "at the last minute"!!!
