I just finished my 3rd bathmat of the year with the Pisgah Peaches ‘n Cream double worsted cotton that I bought when they were going out of business. This one was especially dull – the pattern called for it to have 3 colors, and I only had the one. But it used up yarn, and that’s important.

Why does it curl this way??? I made sure to pick up the very number of stitches that the pattern called for. Urgh!
It’s the Ravellenic Games, and I committed to doing the WIPs Wrestling contest. I’ve been going on for MONTHS about how I’m going to “WIP, WIP, WIP!” it up. And what happens?

The cotton obsession continues. I cast on for an Absorba bath mat from the Mason Dixon ladies. It’s made with 3 strands of double worsted (though I’m only using 2) on size 15 needles. So, monotonous as shit, but going quickly.
WHEN am I going to get back to the WIPs? Seriously folks. I have a lot with not a whole lot to do for them to be called finito. And then there’s the mitered dishcloth pattern in the second Mason Dixon book…it’s a darn good thing that the Olympics go for 2 weeks!
P.S. I started taking pictures of stitchmarkers tonight. I’m hoping to re-open the shop soon!
