Crochet - August 2009

What: Learning how to Crochet
When: August 2009
Where: Breeze House - Sanddrift
Cost: Donation
Patrons Present: Lucy, Nadine, Fiona, Clarissa, Carol, Janine
Organised By: Clarissa

After much diary consultation and moving around of Clarissa's baby showers, we finally found a date to do the August KKC. 6 ladies arrived at the Breeze house and each lady was given a pack which consisted of crochet hook, wool and a step-by-step instruction page. Mrs Breeze was very patient and showed each one how to crochet. The objective of the day was for each person to finish one square. Some found it to be really easy and got way ahead of the rest of the group, others realised that they would stick to taking photo's and looked after all the guests with refreshments and food. Thanks for the patience. Hope you all had fun. ;-)

This month we, under the guidance of Linda (our master baker), made koeksisters.What an adventure. We were all prepared with our aprons, mixing bowls and woodens spoons but ended up mixing the dough with our hands. Firstly Linda explained how she made the syrup the night before - complete with diagrams on a makeshift whiteboard on her dining room wall.Then we set to work in two groups to make the batter. It was a messy business but soon we had dough that was ready to be rolled out.Linda appeared with these amazing koeksister cutters which took away all the stress of cutting the strips evenly. We made loads of koeksisters and while we were busy, Linda deep fried the raw koeksisters and then dunked in the cold syrup. We were sampling as we went along and enjoying some wine and Fiona's homemade lemonade. We had a few 'doughy' koeksisters but we ate those too...Vannessa - who came along to watch - also enjoyed sampling the morsels we produced.Afterwards we watched the dvd of Vannessa's 4d scan. Thanks to all the ladies who attended..it was lots of fun.
