Gauging Election Day

I hoped that my day as an election poll manager would be too busy to get much knitting done, and it mostly was. The real reason, however, that I didn't progress far was that my gauge loosened up 1/2 inch over 25 stitches. Same yarn, same needles, clearly a different bat channel, so I put down the knitting. I'll pick it up again after 2 decent night's sleep in a row.
