We're having a fun April. I left Minnesota last Tuesday in the midst of a winter storm, arrived home the day before several inches of snow fell, and a winter storm is supposed to hit this weekend. After an inch of rain. Meanwhile, my tomatoes and other seedlings survived my absence and are looking lovely. Except for the 6 peppers which haven't bothered to sprout yet.
There's not much photographic evidence that I took a trip to Dallas. I thought about making sure that I had photos of me and all the people whom I now have more than a virtual acquaintance with ... and decided against it. I didn't want to focus on orchestrating photos -- so I didn't! Other people have that gene, and I was part of at least 2 group photos, one of which is on Ravlery. That leaves you with the following assortment

| The Airplane. A Study in White |
 |
| The Mustangs of Las Colinas |
 |
| The Intriguing Dishcloth |
Trust a knitter to get a picture of a variation of Grandmother's Favorite Dishcloth, and totally skip getting a picture of her hostess! Regardless, I had a delightful time. I saw Cheryl for the first time in a decade or more, met all my co-workers at Dallas Afterschool, spent time with a wonderful assortment of knitters, including several Master Hand Knitting Committee members I'd not met before, and had a bit of time for knitting around the edges. (My traveling knitting ended up being the counterpane AND a scarf. Good things, too. The scarf was in a splitty gray yarn and made for Very Bad Airplane Knitting, so I worked on the counterpane ... until the cable separated a bit from the needle (on a fixed circular), when I switched back to the scarf, until the vendor hall opened on Friday ... three more squares done, and I'm about halfway through the scarf now.
It was a delightful trip.
