This picture is us in March, 1996, after my accident and was taken when Harime took me to a computer show, to show me everything that 'I' could do with one. As you can probably tell from the picture, the 60 mile ride left me in pain, but I was happy to be there. 8~))

Compromise Lapghan

Pattern By: Martha Clem aka StarGazer

Okay this pattern came about because I was playing around with Harime's favorite pattern, the Shell and one of my favorites, the Ripple, then threw in some front and back posts and came up with a 'Compromise'. Thus the name of the pattern. Hey, it worked during our marriage, I figured it would have to work here too! *SMILE* Also 'Compromise' works just find without the front and back posts for those of you that prefer a 'smoother compromise'. 8~))
