It’s just the way it is. Taking photos of lace-in-progress is almost always disappointing.

Even with this pattern, which starts at the lower hem, so that by rights I should be able to get a good look at the emerging lace pattern, which is completely free of the needle … it still looks like a delicate blob of knitting.

The color is off, too. Too much yellow–the green should be deeper, and the red a little more blue. But, still, you get the idea.

Mom was cleaning out closets today and I came home to find three pillows scattered around the house. Old, defunct bed pillows that we’d stashed away at some point but no longer need. But instead of bringing them straight to the garage, Mom gave them to Chappy to play with.

Apparently, old pillows are even more fun to play with than empty milk cartons. Who knew?

Oh, and I’m up to the middle of April, 2007–and, ironically, just came across the post where I talked about Dad’s high school reunion–the one where a generous classmate paid for everybody‘s ticket and dinner–the entire class. Which is ironic because that anonymous donor had such a great time and enjoyed it so much, they’re doing it again–this weekend. Dinner on Saturday night, and a river cruise on Sunday. How cool is that? And the only thing my parents have to pay for is the gas to get there!
