Presenting...
The washcloth that kicked my arse
(click it! click it! ya know ya wanna)
First round: I cast on 150 stitches twice. Because the first time I didn't start with enough yarn.
Second round: Subconscious decided that 12 bobbles was much better than the called for 6 in row 2. Decided this wasn't so grand in row 4. Did I mention 150 stitches?
Third round: Casted on 150 stitches, created the correct number of bobbles, knit to row 5 (FIVE) and realized that it was twisted. Yep, like a mobius. Somehow the: "do not twist" part alluded my incredible brain. duh.
Was I going to let the washcloth win? was I going to cast on for a 4 (FOURTH!) time? Or was I just going to smudge it cause its a washcloth for crying out loud, and create a nifty hanging loop to camouflage the funky hole. Yep. I did that.
Stupid washcloth.
Updated: think its going to rain?

Rufus: "I wanna go out! I have to go out! I wanna go out!"
So we let him out.
Two minutes later: "I wanna come in! Let me in! I wanna come in!"
Crazy dog.

Jeez, where is that rainstorm coming in? Tonight? Tomorrow? Think that we in MD are expecting it too. Yeesh! I like the tea pot and its accessory!

We're in for some rain this afternoon and then again on thursday and friday. Hopefully that means it'll be nice on Saturday! Cute mug!

Don't you hate that -- a stupid washcloth, doh!
My umbrella turned inside out on me this morning at the bus stop. One of those days.

it's raining down here too .... the day is so dark, that i actually have some lamps on today.
i feel your pain with 150 sts. i'm knitting on my 306 sts ... but thankfully it's rows vs. rounds, so no fear of knitting a mobius :)

Washcloth is fantastic but I'm coveting your yarn mug!! That coffee mug is the best! Where did you get that??

I don't know, it sounds like you eventually showed it who the boss is.

No no no, that's grass, it's going to precipitate grass. OK, now that you have knit that washcloth and shown it who was boss, throw it on the floor and stomp on it a few times, it helps break in the yarn, yup, that's it, break in the yarn. Where did you get that mug?

Don't you hate it when sometimes the "easiest" projects end up being the hardest?
I like your mug, by the way.

I think it's going to rain. Just my intuition though....
Bad washcloth! It looks pretty cute and I love that coffee cup.
The real question is - did you get your shoes? In the right size?
