I had forgotten about your move! I'd be happy to say hello
for you! The annual Sandy Eggo Cook-Ins are always in June.
We did have an aberration last year and had an additional
one in October. Used to be a regular circuit, Sandy Eggo in
June, San Francisco in July, L.A. in August, and Humboldt in
September. That left May for Seattle, eh Alan.

That's over-simplifying it.

Think of "gathering", with several rows of uniform
stitching... which creates neat rows of wavelike ups
and downs.

Smocking is decorative stitching on top of that. Basic
smocking stitich is just something the unites rows in an
X pattern.

Every other stitch is someone with way too much time on
their hands... showing off. LOL!

Apparently there is an explosion of knitting these days....
it's like needlepoint in the '70s.

Can you say "rebel"? My mother didn't do that stuff either,
didn't cook a varity of things, didn't sew unless it was
mandatory and certainly didn't do any type of needlework for
fun or relaxation.

I was the opposite. I thought my daughter was following the
usual drill, but she asked me to teach her how to knit last
month. As a result, we've had some good mother/daughter
"bonding experiences "based around knitting.

Smocked frocks are a way to demonstrate a willingness to
spend a lot of money on something that will be outgrown
in a trice.

The reply wasn't meant to teach Michael how to actually
smock a garment. It was *simply* to give him a reference
point as to what smocking was. It was worded in layman's
terms without going into deep detail. I suppose had I sat on
the question for the last 3 days I too, could have phrased
it differently.
