Overdue Picture of Finished Entrelac Pillow

25 June 2005, Saturday 4:55 P GMT-08
I suddenly realized that I never posted a picture of my entrelac pillow which I finished over a month ago. I suppose it's because I was more relieved than excited about finishing it due to the annoyance of the yarns involved (Lion Brand Homespun and

Pillow Progress
