I'd made something like sixty simple-round hexagonal affairs that were nothing if not pedestrian. So when the word "fancy" tumbled from her lips that cool winter afternoon, I began an altogether fruitless search for a coaster pattern that appealed to her.<br /><br />One day, something resembling a week later, I sat down with some red yarn and fiddled around with it for an hour or two. Thus was born A Coaster Among Friends:<br /><a href="https://acrobat.com/#d=wwLMwkcpEbxaNr4YL2YX7A"><br />A Coaster Among Friends</a><br /><br /> <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab" height="400" width="365"><br /> <param name="movie" value="https://acrobat.com/Clients/current/ADCMainEmbed.swf"><br /> <param name="quality" value="high"><br /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"><br /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#202020"><br /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"><br /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><br /> <param name="flashvars" value="d=wwLMwkcpEbxaNr4YL2YX7A"><br /> <embed src="https://acrobat.com/Clients/current/ADCMainEmbed.swf" bgcolor="#202020" play="true" loop="false" quality="high" wmode="transparent" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="d=wwLMwkcpEbxaNr4YL2YX7A" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" align="middle" height="400" width="365"></embed><br /> <br /> </object><br /><br />This pattern is the first one that I've consciously designed and committed to paper.<br /> <div class="details-section"> <!--Creative Commons License--> <div class="commons_license_summary"><a rel="license" target="_blank" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" class="commons_img" src="http://st.deviantart.net/styles/minimal/minish/spitbite/cclogo.png" /></a><div class="cc_license_text"><em>Some rights reserved.</em> This work is licensed under a<br /><a rel="license" target="_blank" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License</a>.</div></div></div>AbstractSteelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13711257177697235806noreply@blogger.com0
