In choosing a name for the place, we were stumped until I remembered the punchline to a story we had all heard from storyteller Utah Phillips: Calling All Knitters The worst job I ever had was working for the railroad. They didn’t hire a cook. They just waited until someone whined and they appointed him the (and Other Needlework Crafters) cook.
