High Fiber—Canvassing, Cabinets and Cutting

Common Threads met on Thursday at Jean's. She has made progress on her blanket made of leftover sock yarn:

While we were there, a couple of moose paid a visit.

As soon as I got home, I had to pack for the trip to Colorado to canvass for the election. This time I got to go to Denver on a bus with lots of other volunteers:

The long trip from Utah to Denver gave me lots of time to work on my Dogwood Blossoms cardigan. The body is almost done. Then I will have to try it on and see if I need to make the sleeves longer. (See previous log posts for information on this project.)

We stayed with the brother of one of our local volunteers. It was fun getting to know new people. The brother's wife is a knitter. I'll try to share some of her knitting next week.

We had an surprise job Sunday night. Utah volunteers were among those selected to work the president's visit to Aurora. I took this photo:

The people who worked the event got places in front, so I was also among those whose hand he shook after his speech.

While I was in Colorado, some progress on the bathroom occurred. Here are the cabinets for the vanity:

This is the new linen cabinet:

In baby news, Soren had his first haircut:

He was so good! I guess he's too young to be afraid of a haircut, I guess!

Tomorrow is election day. Be sure to vote. If you don't vote, you can't complain.

What's on my needles: Dogwood Blossoms. Coming down the home stretch.
What's on my wheel: Full Circle Roving in "Pigeon."
What's on my iPad: The House of the Deer by D. E. Stevenson from Audible.
What's in my wine glass: Amberhill Secret Blend 2010. I think I have a new favorite!

Comment by angelkarhu on November 8, 2012 at 6:45pm: I'd only leave if a R was in office. Besides it's only a pipe dream to move there. I have no proof of income so they'd reject applications to immigrate. I'd have no way to pay for dialysis without some form of income. I've looked into it already. I wouldn't qualify for residency and hence their socialized medicine.

Comment by Peggy Stuart on November 8, 2012 at 2:24pm: Guess they didn't want them to leave! Or, if so, they have to pay!

Comment by cherylbwaters on November 8, 2012 at 9:24am: Hmmmm..... nothing for those who would have left if the results were the other way around?

Comment by Peggy Stuart on November 8, 2012 at 7:48am: Angel Bear, yesterday Jet Blue offered 2,012 one-way tickets to anyplace outside the US, first-come, first-served, to people who had said they would leave the country if the president was re-elected.

Comment by angelkarhu on November 8, 2012 at 7:12am: I say everything is attributed to Finn genes. In fact if Obama hadn't won I'd be planning to move to Finland. And yes I voted. I still can't believe the legalization of cannabis passed in 2 states.

Comment by Peggy Stuart on November 8, 2012 at 6:31am: Angel Bear, I was born with lots of hair that didn't fall out. Maybe I have some Finn in me, back somewhere! I missed out on the high cheekbones, though. I got the German face.

Beverly, Soren is young to have a haircut. He's a very advanced baby!

Comment by Beverly Roberts on November 6, 2012 at 9:31am: Gasp! You shook the President's hand!!! This Dem participated in early voting!

Cabinets look great. Soren seems so young to be having his first haircut!

Comment by angelkarhu on November 5, 2012 at 10:11pm: Its the Finn in him. Lots of hair. My fathers baby pic makes him look like a girl with all the curly blonde hair. Odd to see him as a blonde as up until 10 years or so ago it was all black with just hints of gray.
