I found the Greatest Place Ever

I hope all my friends come from California because I'm taking them all to them all the Lumber Jack. I thought my friend Brent was taking me up to the woods to kill me - but instead we were just driving half way to Idaho to go drinking. It was pretty awesome, log cabin in the middle of nowhere. I almost got hit in a bar fight between a father and son-in-law, and these guys were at least 45 and 70. It was awesome.

Trying again with the Dishcloth

This Dishcloth Almost Killed Me

And I wish I was kidding.

I restarted this pattern like 8 times - which is unheard of for me, I'm an okay knitter, I can usually nail something the first try out, if not the second. I didn't trust the pattern the first three times I ripped it out, which was my fault. Then I was making stupid mistakes, no maintaining the tension and it would get baggy or forgetting which row I was on and not realizing I picked up on the wrong row until three rows later. Basically I just had to finish this thing just to prove myself better than the stupid pattern. I would love to give my trade buddy two but I don't think I have the patience to do this again.

And this is the happiest yellow cotton I could find, and believe me, I looked.

PS - I've tried to upload the photo like seven times and it won't do it, I will try again tomorrow.
