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…
Thanks for the U2 link — I am, er, *listening* to it now, and when I am done *listening* it shall mysteriously be found lurking in my iTunes. How that happens is anyone’s guess…
And now every carol I hear will be a call to knit dishcloths…
On my monitor that dark gray looks like navy blue. Weird. Merry Christmas and thanks for all the blogging, I read every entry and I think you do a fantastic job.
Did you know you can replace the word “motherfucking” with “huckleberry”? Gangsta rap is more entertaining this way. Or you can go the other way and make the adult version of Moon River.
It’s up to you.
