PUBlic Crochet

The highlight of the meeting was having a newbie along to learn to crochet! We welcomed Janice D to crocheting and among many great laughs about "crochet virgins" and all the associated puns, we got her going on a practice swatch. Best known as a photographer, writer and blogger, Janice came along to "try something new." The lure of a glass of wine and hanging at the pub for a few hours might have had a bit to do with it too! Here are Janice's first stitches and a bit of the swatch that the ladies dubbed "the banana worm"... because that's what it looked like!


This was only our 2nd time getting together at the pub. It was quiet on a Monday night, and the while the waiter didn't quite know what to make of us... he did keep sliding by the table at the most awkward moments in the conversation... you know, when we were telling our newbie "it is often tight when it's your first time!" Of course we were referring to the stitching on the practice swatch, but he didn't know that!
