Here is a question... How often can a knitter's taste in yarn change?
I have tried to use dishcloth cotton a couple of times, both on my knitting machine and with my hands. I wasn't impressed. It dried my hands out, hurt my fingers, and was just flat-out unpleasant to work with.
Now why did I break down and buy this lone ball at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago? Because it matched my hall bathroom. I also found the Duckie Cloth pattern (yes, the link is broken... that is a place holder... you can find more info here and here for now) that I just had to try.
I was skeptical when I cast on, but 15 rows in, I am finding that the yarn is actually pleasant to work with!! I have stuffed the barely-started cloth in my purse and have worked a few rows while at work before I decided to actually post some knitting content.
I am now for some dishcloth cotton that has pink and green in it for my master bathroom. I really want to make a two color, intarsia cloth with a froggy on it. I have a feeling that a lot of people will be getting dishcloths in their Christmas stockings this year!!! Portable, simple, and now... PLEASANT TO KNIT!!!

As for the 360, sadly, we have decided to purchase a SECOND console!!! hahaha This time with Best Buy's warranty. It's for 2 years. You can get as many replacements as you need within the first year, and you only get one more replacement during the second. BUT, you can pay for another 2 year warranty to start over with that last replacement. PLUS, you don't have to wait for a repair. It is instant, in-store replacement.
Erik's buddy Dave will be in this weekend. His ex-bitch kinda left him, so I think he and Erik are going to just hang out, which means play video games and drink beers and talk about how much women suck. So, since

Sorry about the xbox problems. I don't have one.
OMG! weird! last night i started knitting a dishcloth/washcloth whichever, for either my kitchen or bathroom... in the same freakin color... only i am using a bernat cotton yarn that i am finding to be super soft. it was one of those pound of yarn deals i bought years back and forgot i had. i am going to make a bathmat/kitchen rug (wherever i decide to use this stuff in) when i see if i like the pattern in the dishcloth.
