A Bluestocking Knits

I was casually reading the new issue of Country Living, as one does of a morning, and was looking over the photographs with this article on entertaining and thinking, "Ah, Project Spectrum pinks!" when I gasped aloud.

Knitting needles as drink mixers.  Let’s look at that again, shall we?  Knitting needles to stir your drinks.  Not just any knitting needles, either, not the cheap Clover ones, but those tall ones are nice Brittany Birches.

Curtain ring clips for placecard holders, I can see.  A linen scarf for a table runner, that could be pretty.  But I am not going to stir my Rosé Spritzer with a wooden knitting needle.  Admittedly, I come from the no-liquids-of-any-kind-on-the-wooden-furniture kind of family, but this takes the whole "repurposing" thing a little too far.

Now, putting a few pairs of exceptionally beautiful wooden knitting needles in a pale pink glass for a centerpiece, that I might do!
