Tuesday was primary day in Virginia so I spent the day working as an elections officer. We have a nice group of people in our precinct so the day is really pleasant even if it's brutally long. We have to be there at 5:00 am and don't get to leave until about 8:00 pm. We had about 25% turnout, which was higher than I expected and it was fun to see some of my neighbors, friends and former co-workers. Since football season ended I haven't been watching TV so haven't been crocheting as much. But I do a little here and there and eventually finished this shawl for donation. This is the third time I've made this shawl using Ice Cream Cotton Blend yarn. It's a discontinued yarn and great to work with. I don't love the color pooling but it's going to be incredibly comfortable for someone in assisted living or a nursing home. I have yarn to make one more. I'm making some progress on the baby blanket too. I like the subtle stripes from this yarn.

I need to figure out a new crochet project so I can give my hands a rest from knitting. I like to change back and forth. Wish my stash would lend itself to making shawls for donation but I don't have enough of anything that will go together. I hate to buy anything but might be forced if I can't think of something.

I see what you mean about the color pooling on the shawl. The stripes are uneven and a bit wonky, but I am sure someone will love it.
