I never thought the hooker meetings could get any wilder, but when you add men and knives into the mix, it most certainly does flare up a bit. The first portion of our meeting was dedicated to a Cutco Knife demonstration by Craig's friend, Ben. I was a little worried for him at the beginning but he dealt with our cackles, questions, and sexual innuendo with aplomb. Please add a comment here if you want to share a favorite memory of the evening. (Just click the "0 comments" or "__ comments" link at the end of this post.) I think my favorite moment was when Trixie pulled out a ruler to measure Ben's big knife because she didn't believe he was telling the truth about its length.
There were lots of tasty treats and drinks on hand. If you have a recipe to post or want a recipe for something you tried at the meeting, just let me know and I'll post it here.
Some hooking did get done after the knife demo...but it was just Trixie, Mame, and I getting a few rows done before calling it an evening. Mame needs to finish up a few of her open projects before she is allowed to buy new yarn for something new. She has ventured into sweater territory which is very impressive if you ask me. Trixie is still working on a baby afghan with wonderful blue hues. I have started an afghan with celery green and antique cream yarn. It may take years to complete but it should be beautiful when it's done.
Here is a PDF of the Plastic Bag Tote instructions that Jackie sent to us. I scanned in a color version so it is easier to read and you can see the end result.
The next meeting is May 7 at Cassandra's house. Hope to see you all there!
