Unraveled Wednesday

Joining Kat and friends for Unraveled Wednesday. Kat worked the polls yesterday and I want to give her a big round of applause along with a big thank you! I've got a nearly completed Hitchhiker to share with you. 

I couldn't watch any results yesterday but woke up at 4:00 am and couldn't resist checking my phone. I can't not watch this morning but since I also saw a mouse at 4:00 am I will be taking a break from knitting, breathing, hoping, and worrying to walk down to the hardware store for some traps. Thanks for the diversion, little mouse!

I haven't read anything since last week but hopefully, things will settle down in the next couple of days and I'll be able to settle down enough to read. I have Anxious People and The Mill on the Floss ready when I'm better able to concentrate. 

What are you making and reading this week?

    Ugh - a mouse. Still doing the round and round on my pullover body but I may have cast on a hat to distract me yesterday

    Hello, Bonny! Glad to see you here this morning, wasn't sure you'd want to engage. I didn't watch any returns last night, I finished The Queen's Gambit, as I had planned. Then a friend started texting me about the election, and I told her I didn't want to discuss it. Best laid plans, foiled again! I am working on getting a cardigan started, just started The Searcher by Tana French. No matter how this goes, it is OVAH, and I am determined to keep my equanimity no matter how it goes. I guess I will have to look at some returns sometime today, but I do know enough to know that everything is still in progress, so what's the point? I hope you have a good day, and finish that Hitchhiker! It's gorgeous. Kudos to Kat and everyone else who is working hard in this election. Happy Hunting!

      Thank you! The yarn is a Wollmeise roll in am kalten Polar. Sadly, Wollmeise is no longer dyeing these sock blanks, but you could probably do a similar gradient with mini-skeins, another dyer's yarn (knitcircus?) or dye your own.

    The mice have been active at our house, too, lately and traps have been set. I was glued to the returns last night and ended the night in tears. I should know better!

    It's the time of year the wee little pest decide it's cold outside! I hope you had beautiful weather for your walk. We've been enjoying some unseasonably warm days but a change is coming. I'm hoping for snow. May we prevail, but if not, may we pull together and find strength!

    What a lovely hitchhiker, Bonny. Those colors are stunning! Any diversion is a good diversion right about now . . . although mice in the house are never fun. We have a lovely day here -- sunny and warmish. It's good to be reminded that the sun still shines. XO

    Im just waiting for a lil mouse to get in the house and the cats to have a blast hunting it.
    I'm knitting a shawl and Im not giving up!
    I'm reading blogs! I am listening to a sleep app. before bed. The lady's voice just slows your mind down. relax into sleep medication 10/23. I asked Fireman if it helped him, this morning. HE laughed and said he forgot about it, and fell asleep during it. Well...that's a testimonial.

    Such a beautiful hitchhiker. I bet it was fun to watch those colors come off that sock blank. We had a couple of mice in the garage but so far none in the house. Knock on wood. They are so little but I always wonder what fleas or other diseases they are carrying. Plus they do quite a bit of damage in a kitchen. I checked returns once early last night and then again this a.m. Just sitting tight and knitting.
