Lab potholder - Sometimes only one side works

See the face of this adorable Labrador? Head tilted, sad, pleading eyes, so cute. In double knitting, the opposite colors show on the other side, much like the negative of a photograph. In most cases, it appears good, but this is not one of those potholders. Even I have a hard time seeing the lab on the negative side of the potholder. I can see the nose. That's about it. I guess not all pictures work being reversed.

Lesson learned.
