Doing Crochet With The Posse

3/30/2017

    The Panera Posse, my girl-group that meets as surely as the sun comes up every Wednesday morning of the year, seldom fails to cover a superabundance of topics during the two or three hours we convene at Panera each week.
Picture
    With so much to talk about, so many issues and subjects to cover, from the personal,
Picture
​...to the local,
Picture
 ...to the national,
Picture
​...to the global,
Picture
...to the cosmic,
Picture
...the pace of the conversation sometimes moves so quickly that one can scarcely trace the trajectory of how we took off from one point and landed, many words later, on totally unrelated ground.
     Thus I can't quite remember how it transpired last week that we arrived at the subject of crochet. 
      Oh, I suppose that we could have, for example,

...started out opining upon the Donald Trump debacle-of-the day
Picture
...which could, I guess, have led us to the subject of growing national dissatisfaction with this so-called President, which could have led to the the state of the Resistance,
...in support of  which a couple of us Posse members  have made kitty hats.
Picture
​     I myself have made half-a-dozen or so in the past few  months,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...with one more on back-order; all of which, I expect, could have gotten us onto the subject of crochet.
     But no, wait, wait...that wasn't at all how we got to talking about crochet; now I remember:  

      It was that one of the gals was wearing a super-cute hat made of variegated yarn that she'd crocheted and which we all so admired that she offered to teach us  how to make one.
Picture
    And so we decided last week that this week's Posse meeting would be dedicated to learning how crochet the above hat.
     Three Posse members showed up at Panera yesterday - it's a rare Wednesday when all nine of the permanent members can make it, but no matter, whenever two or more of us are gathered at one of the round or square tables the Posse meeting's a go,

...as it was yesterday when the  three of us arrived laden with yarn,
Picture
​...crochet hooks to share,
Picture
...and our friend's instructions.
Picture
     As two of the three of us were veteran crocheters - all right, I'm more of a crochet addict who's fallen off the wagon (see post from 2/7/2017).  
     After having gone years without touching a strand of yarn, 
I've now turned back to the hook,
Picture
....yet another thing to blame on you-know-who (again, see post from 2/7/2017).
Picture
​ But anyway, the two of us who already knew how to crochet taught the third in our group,
Picture
​...a very good knitter who'd never tried her hand at crochet but who'd been wanting to learn.
Picture
     And so we sat together for a couple of hours engrossed in our work,
Picture
​...our conversation wandering never too far from either the next step in the instructions or the art of the double-crochet stitch.
Picture
​     It was a nice escape from the world for a few hours.
Picture
    In these troubled times I suppose I'd recommend crochet to everyone. if it weren't so addictive.
