Nice JOB!
Did you receive your pocket protector from ONE of the 100+ year old test proctors there????
They were a seasoned bunch and much into the craft. I had two guys watching in the test room.
Not all old guys are crotchetyTitanic survivors most likely.
I was the youngest person in the room besides ONE teenage gal there with her dad.
Everyone was super nice though.

For the record I have yet to find a cheap hobby.
I think the two term are mutually exclusive.
I'm sure there are special tools required for really good pine needle basket weaving, expensive tools. And who uses domestic pine needles? I'm sure you simply must have imported Himalayan pine needles harvested by specially trained Buddhist Monks and transported by Yak to sea ports in China where they are smuggled out of the country. Not to mention instructional books, DVD's, forum memberships, attending pine needle weaving conventions, and the Pine Needle Weaving Guild dues.No kidding; me either. Somehow, pine needle basket weaving would turn out to be expensive (and I have a huge pine tree in my back yard that supplies plenty of product).
