June 14 knit in public day

Today the Portland Purls ladies' knitting association convened at chez Matthews (my house) for our monthly delight. I selected Rose Pink for my theme, and last night initiated the baking frenzy.

Now where did that damn cat go? Obviously I don't have enough stuff in my cupboard.

I made an almond-flavored white cake with lemon curd and yogurt cheese filling, and dressed it with fresh raspberries.




Ben, of course, wouldn't THINK of sniffing the cake!













I made chicken salad sandwiches and threw the crust trimmings out for the birds. Fly invited his buddy Henry over for brunch. They had quite a companionable time, feasting on flavored bread crusts while the local crows cursed them heartily.









We had the lovliest time! We knitted and talked and laughed and laughed and laughed. LG brought some additional goodies which was a wonderful thing because more people arrived than I had counted on. Good thing I try to set a few extra places just in case.

After we had spent a glorious two hours, everyone had to leave to get ready for Father's Day tomorrow. I did the dishes, then DH and I went for a walk. Photos tomorrow.
