This one is taking a lot longer than the others.

Is the dishcloth fever beginning to break? There’s really no way to know.

Dances With Dishcloths

This is the same purple I matched with the persimmon in the last dishcloth, plus “Lime Stripes.”

I worry that, with yet another dishcloth (12 in 17 days) I may start losing members of the audience. And yet I am helpless to stop.

How about some chicken news? People seem to like chicken news.

Ethel has molted a little tiny bit, at the back of her neck. Although you’d never know it to look at Her Royal Fluffiness.

Only half of what you see is chicken. The rest is all feathers. You would be shocked if you picked her up, and felt how small her body actually is, buried inside all that fluff.

Here’s a better picture of the bare spot, with a bit of the fencing wire in the way.

While I was going through my pictures, I discovered I had caught a perfect picture of chicken eyelashes.

I had no idea chickens had eyelashes!

OH I nearly forgot! Everyone please congratulate Lisa on her first sock!

Yes, it’s more dishcloth love! This one represents the very very last of the Persimmon. I paired it with purple to give it that “six year old girl” je ne sais quois. But every color looks the same when you interlace it with Persimmon.

Of course, it must be said, I do a lot of my dishcloth yarn-buying at the end of the year. So after all the dishcloths I’ve made in the last few weeks, I’m still at a net GAIN for dishcloth yarn.

But that’s okay, because I bought pretty colors!

Did you know that you can replace the word “Christmas” in any song with the word “Dishcloths”? I had this realization this morning, and I have had U2′s dishcloth carol stuck in my head ever since. Woe!

I have three Christmas dinners this year – one last night, one tonight, and one next week. Today in the space between Christmas dinners I promised myself I wouldn’t go online, not even a little bit.

Then I realized that I had forgotten to write down the instructions for the cheesy artichoke dip I’m bringing tonight. And as long as I’m here, I may as well show off some dishcloths, because they’re starting to pile up!

The second Persimmon dishcloth is finished. This is Persimmon + Chocolate, which turned out to be a pretty good combination.

I had to make an emergency DPN purchase yesterday. I found myself helpless against the urge to stockpile more dishcloth yarn. I KNOW.

This morning I started the third Persimmon dishcloth, pairing it with pale baby blue. I quickly nixed this combo when it started giving off that visual strobe effect. ENOUGH.

Instead, I dug through the stash until I came up with a nice, boring dark gray.

They’re singing “Deck The Halls”
But it’s not like dishcloths at all…
