I enjoyed reading this article about a group of women who come together to enjoy dinner and to knit..
"For almost eight years now, I have been getting together with a group of women from my neighborhood for an evening of food and knitting on a near weekly basis. The original draw that brought us all together was a common interest in knitting, but the evening has evolved to be more about food and friendship where some nights the needles aren't even taken out of the bag."
Just as dinner parties have made a huge come back - so has knitting!!
My friends call themselves guerrilla knitters because they use their knitting to create art on the streets.. knitting is no longer just a conservative pastime..
So - another dinner party idea for you to consider?

What an interesting idea and if you know me after all these years then a unique idea truly catches me eye..
This article is a start to the idea.. they say:
"Building an evening around a wine tasting offers all kinds of advantages over a run-of-the mill social. Perhaps most important, it provides focus — something all of your guests can talk about from the moment they arrive. Think of it as a built-in icebreaker."
My additional suggestion is that should you be planning a three course dinner party then you could secretly share one course with each couple. Say There were three other couples there, you could ask them to see if they can match the meal with an affordable wine for the course they have been assigned..
They will not know a thing about the other courses but each could present their wine as a start to their course?
Their choice will even be a secret to you - their host/hostess..
